17. One of my closest friends on Letterboxd and in real life is Chloe Jewell. Her watchlist is insane. Help her weed out what is worth watching and shuffle her watchlist, then watch the first movie you get that you haven't seen! She would dearly appreciate it.

24. I love ABBA and am forever in debt to Sweden for their contributions to pop music. Let's thank them by watching a Swedish submission for the Academy Award for Best International Film.
25. The highlight of every summer for me was the week I spent at zoo camp. Every summer, my local zoo would have a day camp where I got to go behind the scenes and learn about the animals and it was incredible. To go back to the simpler times, let's watch a movie that takes place at summer camp.
