Foreword
This is year six of the Film School Drop Outs challenge which was started by Disguistipated and carried on by Bobby Jones, Steve Geiler and last year by Elena (thanks for passing the torch!). I hope this lives up to their editions of the challenge. After combing through all the previous lists, I've tried to focus on topics that haven't been previously covered to help keep things fresh. Enjoy!

Introduction
This challenge will take place across the 52 weeks of 2022. Each week will address a new topic that will provide signposts through your journey. The goal is to watch at least one film each week that will expand your experience of film.
The syllabus can be found below. Each weeks topic will be accompanied by a link to a list of suggested films but feel free to choose any film that you feel meets that week's subject. See the List notes for weekly dates and tags.
Here are the links to the 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 challenges. Feel free to mix and match this year's topics with those of previous years.
Make sure to comment on this list with a link to your list so you can be included in the description.
(Voluntary) Rules
1. Each week you must watch the film that you have selected for that week's topic;
2. After having watched each film you should write and post a review of at least five sentences;
3. Ensure that you tag each film with the challenge tag FSDO2022. Also make sure you tag it with the weekly tag, for example, FSDO2022Week1. This will enable other students to find your reviews;
4. Read other student's reviews and share comments with one another.
Please Note
- All of these rules are voluntary;
- If you are unable to watch the listed movie in any given week you can skip it or watch it later;
- Feel free to make up your own topics for any given week if you don't like the existing topic or if you are unable to gain access to a movie that fits it;
- Feel free to change any movie on your list at any time. The availability of a film often makes this necessary;
- If you don't like writing reviews you don't have to. Maybe comment on other people's reviews so you can still be a part of the dialogue (although you don't have to do that either).
