Host: boxd.it/tZVWU
PROGRESS: 6/30
rewatches: 2 - Back to the Future 3, The Goonies
For any substitution prompts:
1. Watch a musical-movie
2. Watch a movie you haven’t gotten around to
3. Watch a movie that does not pass the bechdel test.
1. It’s April Fools and I’m so grateful to host this months’ hunt. You know that feeling when you start a movie, predicting that you’re gonna love it and it turns 180 on you, yeah, APRIL FOOLS. Rewatch a movie you expected to love, but didn’t.
2. I’m Danish and my country and my language means a lot to me, so I’m being very basic, honoring my country: Watch a Danish movie, not just filmed here, but spoken!
3. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I tend to procrastinate on longer movies, because I know I have to concentrate for longer (and I’m not particular good at that haha), so let’s all do it and watch one of the 4 longest movies on your watchlist
4. About a month ago today Robert Downey Jr. won his first Oscar, and today is his birthday. I think RDJ has come a long way and that we should honor his long-awaited win, as well as his 59th birthday. Watch an RDJ movie!
5. I’m addicted to music, I listen to music probably 3 hours a day, I couldn’t live without it. I like movies with good soundtracks, it’s a big factor for me. So watch a movie that shares its name with a song: If possible, perhaps you can find one that shares the name with a favorite song of yours?
6. I’m a highschool student, graduating in 2025, and I’m a language student, studying both French and Spanish and Latin. This year I’m gonna use my Spanish when I visit Guatemala. Watch a movie with a language spoken in one of the countries you’ve been to (the more exotic the better). (I am substituting this with option #2. A movie I haven’t gotten around to)
7. When I was a child I wanted to be a famous artist, in my head it was quite easy. Now I have aspirations of becoming a theatre actress or an actress in general, but let’s entertain 6 year old me and watch a movie either about an artist or about a painting.
8. My watchlist is long, definitely not as long as a lot of people’s I follow on here. But still whenever I add something new it tends to get lost in the ocean of movies on here. Take this as a sign to watch one of your 4 most recently added movies
9. I kind of started my scavenger hunt journey with my best friend Marie and we’re still going. Every month we sit and wait for the list and then we hurry to text each other when it drops. So obviously I have to dedicate a prompt to her. My best friend forever and ever. Watch one of Maries favorite movies: boxd.it/mlw7Y
10. We need something that is a little fun and up for interpretation too, so I like this prompt: Watch a movie you think would kill a Victorian child. Many things would probably do that, so go for horror, slapstick comedy or whatever YOU want to!
11. My absolute biggest comfort show is The Office. I have watched the entire thing quite a few times (though I tend to slow down around s7, iykyk :( Watch a movie featuring an actor or actress who was on the office as a regular (I have a list on my profile :) - These are just suggestion movies, you can choose anything featuring one of the people from the list (https://boxd.it/oOHu6)
12. I don’t know if it’s just me but I genuinely didn’t realize how many actors/actresses have received honors from the royal family. So many famous people, therefore: Watch a movie directed by or featuring someone who has received honors from the royal family - here’s a link to help you: Knighted celebrities
13. I’m not a big believer in birthstones, but I’d thought it’d be a fun and personal prompt. Find your birthstone (the one based on your birth-month) and watch a movie with the same color as yours! Here’s a link to get you started: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthstone
14. I’m surprised at the amount of newer movies that still do not pass the Bechdel test, go ahead and find a movie that passes the Bechdel from the year you were born. Check out this link for the movies available: bechdeltest.com/search/
15. Today is Emma Watsons birthday, but April is also the birth month of a couple other of my favorite actors like Paul Rudd and Jennifer Garner. Watch a movie starring either Emma Watson, Paul Rudd or Jennifer Garner
16. I recently made, what I would say is a pretty cool list over all the movies people have mentioned on Letterboxd’s insta on their “Four Favorites” segment. I’m really proud of the list, and I feel it deserves a spot on a Scavenger Hunt. Watch any movie on the Four Favorites list: boxd.it/suP5k (Bonus points if you shuffle:)
17. I watch a lot of different genres, as do you all I’m sure. Look at your recent five star movie, and watch a movie that shares its genre with that one.
18. Some of the people I adore the most are three youtubers that all make videos about really stupid movies. Their names are Danny Gonzalez, Kurtis Conner and Drew Gooden, and if you don’t know them, you should definitely check them out. Watch a movie that’s been on either of their channels: boxd.it/gfn9K/detail
19. I like going to concerts. Last May I saw Harry Styles in concert and about a month ago I saw Niall Horan in concert as well. I really like camping with people I care about and meeting other fans of the same artist. Either watch a concert movie or a movie with a concert scene. www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=music-concert
20. It’s 4/20, obviously we have to watch something alluding to that. You can either watch a classic stoner movie, or go lighter and pick something with a green poster. Have fun and stay safe out there!
21. I love Broadway and musicals, but I’ve only gone once, since I, as said, live in Denmark. In 2022 I saw Hamilton on Broadway and it was great, and afterwards I found out just how many actors either gotten their start on Broadway or have been on Broadway, so for prompt 21, choose one of these 21 actors and watch a movie starring them: www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/hollywood_actors_who_have_starred_on_broadway/s1__38767457#slide_5
22. Today’s earth day, so why not honor that with a prompt as well. Watch a movie containing the word Earth in the title. You can go anywhere with this prompt, simply the word “Earth”
23. I’m a drama student and today is the anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Watch a movie with any connections to William Shakespeare. That could be an adaptation or a movie where he is frequently mentioned like in “10 Things I Hate About You” (1999)
24. I like reading, one of my favorite books is being turned into a series this year and I’m pretty excited for it. Watch any movie where you’ve read its book. If you can’t think of any, you can check my short list on my profile: boxd.it/orFmo
25. In a month today one of my best friends has her birthday. She’s incredible and I’ve known her for 7 years and she deserves a prompt. I love you Thora<3 - Watch one of Thoras favorite movies: boxd.it/j6xNY
26. I love my mom and I use the prompts to our advantage a lot of the time. Picking movies I know my mom and I could watch together. Ask your mom for one of her favorite films, even more fun if you haven’t seen it. If that’s not possible you can check out my mom’s list: boxd.it/l4ifG
27. I’m a firm believer in the fact that bad movies can be good, if you know what I mean. Check out some of the people you follow and watch any movie that they’ve rated one stars or lower. Maybe you’ll love it or maybe they’re right.
28. The 28th of October is my birthday, so for prompt 28 I’m gonna be selfish and encourage you to watch a favorite of mine. My list is pretty versatile, so I hope you’re able to find something. boxd.it/jaApS
29. Winona Ryder is my favorite actress of all time. Her birthday is actually the day right after mine. So for prompt 29, watch any Winona Ryder movie. I highly recommend Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice or Heathers if you haven’t seen those
30. Why not leave the last prompt up to fate. Go to your watchlist and shuffle. Watch the 30th movie to pop up. I hope you all get something good.
