I'm joining Ben's Challenge.

PROGRESS: 48/52

Rules:
1. There are 52 prompts. The goal is to watch any Criterion released film based on the categories below between 1/1/24-12/31/24.
2. Your choices can be any films released by Criterion on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Laserdisc, or ones that have been featured on The Criterion Channel streaming service (although I'd prefer you choose films they've actually put out themselves).
3. The films can be watched daily, weekly, or monthly, and in any order! Watch them at your own pace, but remember you have to finish by 12/31/24.
4. I would like for all picks to be first time watches, but will leave that up to you.
5. Please use the tags "cc2024" and “criterion challenge 2024” so that we can keep track of everything.
