Stunning! I finally have a chance to host a Scavenger Hunt. Let's not screw it up. I always wanted to do 30 random prompts for my Hunt, but with 100 happening now I decided to change things up a bit.

My Scavenger Hunt 101 Reviews
*Don't forget to tag your list and reviews with Scavenger Hunt and Scavenger Hunt 101, and add the link to your list in the comments below*
My personal rules are usually first time watches when possible. Leave reviews for everything watched. Push the limits and expectations of the prompts. Have fun.
**********************************************************************
The Prompts
1. My first Scavenger Hunt was #41 way back in 2018. It was one of the main reason I joined Letterboxd. And a reason I keep coming back. I only reached 13 out of 30 films for my first try. And I really want to finally complete the challenge.
Watch a movie from your FIRST Scavenger Hunt
2. If there is one great thing about the Letterboxd Scavenger Hunt is finding new and interesting movies. Sadly, I can't get around to watching every movie in my lists. I average about 8 movies from a Scavenger Hunt each month. The most interesting films get added to my Watchlist. I also fail to make any serious progress watching those movies. HELP!
Watch a movie from my Watchlist
3. Raise Hell Praise Dale
Watch 3: The Dale Earnhardt Story or any movie about auto racing
4. By the way, I'm Jon.
Watch a movie from a director named John, Jon, Juan, Jean, or any other iteration I don't know about
5. Big fan of Arrow Films and have started a nice collection over the past couple of years.
Watch a film released by Arrow Films
6. Also a big fan of Criterion Collection and have a fun little collection.
Watch a film from the Criterion Collection
7. I love cars; old, new, slow, fast. I don't care. Last year I bought my dream car, the Jensen Interceptor. Massive life goal completed. Don't know what it is, I can help.
Watch a movie that features the Jensen Interceptor
8. I need more help. I created an ever-evolving list of the most popular films I have not seen by year.
Watch the most popular movies I have not seen by year
9. I do not give 5 star ratings out often. If I have, I consider them very special to me in some way. Or they are so bonkers I can't help but love them. It's not usually because they are perfect films.
Watch one of my 5 STAR rated movies
10. Ten out of 10, would recommend
Watch a movie you would recommend to anyone, everyone, and ME. I will try to watch it. Or I would at least add it to my watchlist for a later date. If I have seen it, then it must be worth watching it again. Cheers!
11. I am born and raised in Florida. It is home. It is a great place. And at times it can be terrible. But, it does bring me joy and I love seeing Florida in film.
Watch a movie that takes place in Florida
12. Do people still go to the movies?
Watch a movie in theaters
13. Dead Center (well nearly)
Watch a movie with a mostly BLACK poster
14. I joined Letterboxd in 2018 and went nuts. Over 500 movies, films, shorts...
Watch a movie I watched in 2018
15. I joined the Air Force 19 years ago and I'm getting close to retiring. I can't explain how positive the experience has been. I'll leave the service a far better person than when I joined.
Watch a positive military movie. It doesn't need to be pro-military, just something that entertaining, exciting, funny, whatver...
16. Also, Air Force
Watch a movie that takes place on a plane
17. One more, retiring. I'm too old for this shit.
Watch a Lethal Weapon movie
18. Back to Letterboxd. The world map is addictive. I have been trying to fill my map for some time now. I think I am close and hope to finish it this year.
Watch a movie from a country you have not seen a movie from
19. Speaking of countries. I used to live in Australia for a few years. Absolutely loved it.
Watch an Australian film
20. Remember when I had you watch a movie I gave 5 stars. Well....
Watch a movie I gave 1 star
21. I love seeing what everyone else is watching. Truly eye-opening.
Watch the most recent watched film from someone you follow.
22. Soundtracks can make or break a movie.
Watch a movie with a killer soundtrack!
23. This one is easy
Watch a film from 2023
24. What more is there to know about me worth talking about? Oh yeah, I am married!
Watch a movie starring someone named Jamie, Jami, Jayme, Jammie, or any other iteration of the name
25. I also have a cat and her name is Karate Kat
Watch a martial-arts film
26. August usually means summer barbeques or vacations or break from school. It was fun enjoying winter in Australia when I lived there.
Watch a winter movie if you are in the northern hemisphere or a summer movie if you are in the southern hemisphere
27. James Bond is the greatest movie series ever. It has oddly influenced a few things in my life like traveling the world.
Watch a movie set in a location you would love to visit
28. I love to run! I love to run for a long time. And I love to run every where I go. I totally understand why Tom Cruise runs in all his movies. I actually love doing ultra marathons. I have a goal to complete my first 100 miler next year.
Watch a movie over 150 minutes
29. Alright, that took a while. Let's do a short film. Let's also cover my favorite YouTuber. Beau Miles runs, goes on adventures, is funny, enjoys the simple things, and makes amazing little films that I can't get enough of.
Watch a Beau Miles film. His stuff is all on YouTube.
30. Nicolas Cage
Watch a movie from Nicolas Cage
31. I love bad movies. I love exploitation films. B-Movies. All those weird, odd, and unusual movies we don't always talk about. This is a go-to list to help me find new "gems" that fill my hunger for shlock and cheese.
Watch a movie from Exploitation films, B-movie cheese, grindhouse trash, and other assorted cult cinema : A to Z
If you do not enjoy any prompt or can't find something that fits, pick movie that has been sitting in your watchlist the longest. Have fun.
And thank you for letting me host. Looking forward to going through everyone's Hunt.
