I attempted this once three years ago and my shame at not completing it haunts me to this day! This year though, I will do this. It’s time buckle up and get it done this year. List has been compiled with both filling in gaps and finding movies my spouse would also enjoy. If I get to the extra credit movies, I get to them. But the goal is getting through all of these. Made the mistake of waiting until October last time, so this time I’ll start 9/15.
For anyone who wants to join up, rules are here
QUICK EASY RULES:
There must be 31 films
6 countries; United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Australia…
