I've participated in a lot of Challenges and Scavenger Hunts here on Letterboxd and I've been wanting to create my own for some time but had been struggling for a decent theme, but then it happened... an event I never thought would happen... an event 15 years in the making... oasis are back!!
If you're British like me then hopefully they need no introduction. For those who don't know, oasis were a Manchester band from the 1991-2009 headed by the Gallagher brothers, Liam (lead vocals) and older brother Noel (lead guitar, vocals and songwriter). They were known for being a massive part of the Britpop era in the mid-late 90s, their headline making bad behaviour and brotherly fights, and most…

If you're British like me then hopefully they need no introduction. For those who don't know, oasis were a Manchester band from the 1991-2009 headed by the Gallagher brothers, Liam (lead vocals) and older brother Noel (lead guitar, vocals and songwriter). They were known for being a massive part of the Britpop era in the mid-late 90s, their headline making bad behaviour and brotherly fights, and most of all their music. They split in 2009 after yet another fight, Noel Gallagher left and they were no more... until now!**
So my idea for the challenge was to create my perfect setlist for their reunion tour in 2025 and use each song as the inspiration for each prompt. Inspiration from Neill Shaughness' Beatles Themed Scavenger Hunt.
If you want to learn more about the band then there's a Wikipedia Page, Official Website and I would highly recommend the Supersonic Documentary and check out my Ranked List of their releases. I've also created a YouTube playlist (▶️) of live performances and a Spotify playlist (🎵) of Studio Recordings covering the songs I've used below so you can watch/listen along as you go (individual links in the details).
** Note: If you are reading this post-2025 then chances are they have split up again 🤣 but their music will Live Forever!
Rules:
• Watch a movie for each of the prompts below.
• First time full length movies are preferable but I won't be checking 😉
• Tag your lists, logs and reviews with oasis songs.
• There is no time limit.
• Get hyped for the comeback!
