✔️1. Happy New Year! Watch a 2022 film you didn’t get around to watching last year.

2. Film4 has been funding films not just in the UK, but around the world for 35 years. Watch a film funded by Film4.

✔️3. When my great-uncle passed away, I got his framed poster of one of my favourite films, Rear Window. Watch an Alfred Hitchcock film.

4. I enjoy watching documentaries but don’t watch enough of them. Watch a documentary from your watchlist.

✔️5. One of my favourite film podcasts at the moment is The Villain Was Right. Watch a film covered in the podcast.

✔️6. I have been gradually making my way through the Women Directors: Top 250 Narrative Feature Films. Watch one of the films on the list.

✔️7. If you regularly take part in the Scavenger Hunts you probably have a ‘graveyard’ list of the films you didn’t get around to watching. Watch one from your list, or someone else’s if you don’t have your own. My list.

8. Watch a film featuring an actor you would cast as the next James Bond.

✔️9. I am taking part in Logan's 52 Stars of Star Wars challenge this year. Watch a film starring one of the stars listed (and create your own list if you want to take part).

✔️10. My most watched actor on Letterboxd is Samuel L. Jackson. Watch a film starring Jackson.

✔️11. Watch a film written and/or directed by black women. This list may be helpful.

12. Lynne Ramsay is one of my favourite directors. Watch one of her films, or one from her 50 favourite films.

✔️13. Watch a horror film on Friday the 13th. If you dare.

✔️14. Watch a film from the year you turned 5.

✔️15. Watch a film starring someone from one of your favourite tv shows.

16. We are halfway through a long month. Watch a film under 90 minutes long.

✔️17. The legendary Betty White would have been 100 years old today. Watch a film starring Betty to celebrate.

18. Watch a film adapted from a book you haven’t read.

✔️19. The BAFTA nominations will be announced today. Watch a previous Best Film winner.

✔️20. It’s David Lynch’s birthday today. Watch one of his movies.

✔️21. Teen/coming-of-age movies from the 90’s is a popular prompt but what about a teen film from before 1990?

✔️22. Watch a Chinese film to celebrate Chinese New Year.

23. Watch a non-English LGBT+ film.

24. The 5 Oscar nominees for Best International Feature will be announced today. Watch one of the 92 films on the longlist.

✔️25. To celebrate Burns Night, which honours Scottish poet Robert Burns, watch a movie filmed in Scotland (bonus points if it’s not either Trainspotting film). This list may help you. The traditional haggis and Ceilidh dancing are optional.

✔️26. Watch a film by a director you would want to direct the biopic of your life.

✔️27. Watch a film starring an actor from the film you are most looking forward to in 2023.

28. Browse by your favourite genre on Letterboxd and watch one of your first 5 unwatched in the list.

✔️29. Today is the last day of Sundance Film Festival. Watch a previous Grand Dury Prize: Dramatic winner.

✔️30. The first film festival I ever attended was Tilda Swinton’s Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams. Watching old films alongside Tilda while sat on beanbags eating homemade cakes is not your typical film festival experience. Watch a film featuring Tilda Swinton.

✔️31. LGBT+ History Month begins tomorrow in the UK. To celebrate, watch a film from this list (or any other UK queer film).

If you want to sub any of the prompts you can watch something from your own watchlist or a female directed film.
