OG Scavenger Hunt #96 List
Master Scavenger Hunt List
Prompts
1. Let's get started with a few things about myself! I attend the University of Washington. Watch a movie filmed here or a film that takes place in Seattle. ✅
2. Sidenote, I love James Bond movies, and although Roger Moore is my favorite, today is Daniel Craig's birthday. Watch a James bond movie or a Daniel Craig movie. ✅
3. One of my majors is political science and I also love crime thrillers. Watch a politics themed movie especially if it is about an investigation. ✅
4. I am also majoring in Latin and I adore classics. Watch a movie set in Ancient Rome or Greece. ✅
5. I grew up in Los Angeles. Watch a movie that takes place there! Bonus points if it does not have to do with Hollywood. ✅
6. On the other hand, I grew up in Hollywood, and my dad wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth. Watch it, or if you have already seen it, watch a similar movie or a movie starring Brendan Fraser. #Brennaissance ✅
7. Today is Purim! which is sometimes also known as Jewish Halloween. Watch a movie that won an Oscar for best costume design. ✅
8. Country music is my absolute favorite genre to listen to. Watch a movie about country music or featuring it in its soundtrack. ✅
9. March is Disability Awareness Month, and as someone who has volunteered countless hours playing sports with those with special needs, this month is extremely important. Watch a movie where the lead has a disability. ✅
10. It is almost Oscar season! the next few prompts will be Oscar's themed. First, let's honor those who have shown their talents and entertained us for so many years. Watch a movie starring someone to have earned an EGOT. ✅
11. Awards season is all about disagreement! Time to see all of your hot takes. Watch a movie you consider overrated, and hey, maybe this time it will change your mind! ✅
12. The Oscars are tonight and I hope everyone has an enjoyable time watching (and I think it is all actually being broadcast this year). In honor of them, watch a movie nominated for an Oscar this year. ✅
13. Sadly, this was the last day of high school for so many people in 2020. Let's change that to a happier note. Watch a happy movie that takes place in high school. ✅
14. It's Pi Day! I remember in elementary school we would all celebrate by eating pie and having a contest to recite as many numbers of pi as we could. In honor of that, watch either a movie that contains/is about pie, or watch a movie about mathematics. ✅
15. One of my favorite things about letterboxd is finding hidden gems of movies that I would never have heard of anywhere else. Watch a movie that has under 50k watched, the lower the better! ✅
16. I think we have all heard the tragic news about Bruce Willis being diagnosed with dementia. Let's honor his legacy, and watch one of his films. ✅
17. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Either watch a movie about getting very intoxicated/drunk, watch a movie set in Ireland, or watch a movie about leprechauns! ✅
18. I think going to theaters nowadays gets a bad rap, and I personally love going out. Go to a movie theater to watch a movie IRL, or watch a movie released in 2023 (If neither is possible for you, a 2022 release is fine). ✅
19. Guilty pleasures are sorely hated on within the film community it seems. Time to change that! Watch a movie that everyone else seems to hate that you love. ✅
20. The letterboxd top 250 actually contains some hidden gems, as well as the obvious all time greats. Either way, I have not seen nearly enough of them. Watch a film on the letterboxd top 250. ✅
21. 3...2...1...liftoff!! (see what I did there). Watch a film that takes place in space/another planet. ✅
22. My favorite action film of all time is Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, and this franchise continues to show that sequels can always be better than the original. Watch a sequel or following movie in a franchise other than the original that is in fact better. ✅
23. Lebron is the best player to ever wear the number 23. Watch a basketball movie. ✅
24. One last actor prompt: I am a huge fan of the DDCU, the David Dastmalchian Cinematic Universe. In honor of him, watch a movie that he is in. ✅
25. Two great directors share the last name Anderson: Paul Thomas Anderson, and Wes Anderson. Watch a film from either one of them. ✅
26. Studio Ghibli movies are so cute and wholesome and always are there to cheer my mood up. Watch a Studio Ghibli film. ✅
27. Apparently, today is National Joe Day. Watch a movie starring a person named Joe, or where a character is named Joe. ✅
28. La La Land being added to Netflix reminded me of my trips each year to see my grandparents in New York, and the broadway shows we see. Watch a musical that was also on Broadway, or an adaptation of one. ✅
29. I think everyone enjoys a good whodunnit movie. Watch one! ✅
30. It's opening day! Additionally, baseball movies are my favorite genre and i was raised on films such as Little Big League, the Bad News Bears, Major League, and many more. Watch a baseball film that came out before the year 2000. ✅
31. We've made it to the end of the month! I think it's time for some rest and relaxation. Watch a comfort film! ✅
