I'm going to realize the Criterion Challenge 2022, but this complementary challenge sounds good too, of films that aren't part of the Criterion Collection (I thought that this was a challenge of bad films).
I'm not responsible if some of the films that I watched during the challenge are added to the Criterion Collection this year.
I'll add the date that I watched the film in the notes.
