Whoa, what a surprise that I was randomly picked to host the Scavenger Hunt for June 2024. I previously hosted in October 2021 which was a lot of fun and made me want to enter again once I was able to. Speaking of hosting in the future, don't forget to join the Scav Hunt Discord to talk about the movies, the hunt, and enter for your chance to host. Speaking of hosting, thank you to Henryfor hosting in May.
 
Now onto the prompts:

01 - Thank you to Henry for being last month's host. Why don't we start by watching a film Henry rated 5 stars.

02 - Speaking of Scavenger Hunt, thank you to Wood for putting this together. In honor of Wood keeping this hunt alive, watch something from his Watchlist.

03 - As I said, I hosted back in October 2021, and many new people come to Scavenger Hunt every month. For this prompt choose a prompt of your choice from my list.

04 - I'm an out and proud trans woman. Considering June is Pride month, watch a film by a transgender filmmaker or starring an actual trans person. Check out this extensive list by Leonora

05 - This year has been all about closing the loops on the stats page for as many as I can. It is the completionist in me. Don't have Pro or Patreon to see what you're missing, check out this list that has all the films listed on any of the stat pages.

06 - I am also in a lot of yearly challenges, as they help me find films that I might not otherwise come across. One of my favorite yearly challenges is the Queer Film Challenge. This prompt is another where you can pick your own prompt from this year's list.

07 - I am not a fan of sci-fi films or westerns. But these hunts are all about getting out of your comfort zone. Watch the most popular movie from a genre you do not like.

08 - Many of us do the scavenger hunt month after month, even if we do not finish it. Some people create a scavenger hunt graveyard for such films. If you do have a scavenger hunt graveyard list, watch a film from there, or you can watch one of mine (you can even pull from the description that shows which movies have been removed over the years).

09 - While listening to the audiobook "Inverse Cowgirl" by Alicia Roth Weigel, she made a good point about how the I and A of LGBTQIA are often replaced by a + when talking about LGBTQ+ individuals. Watch a movie with an intersex or asexual/aromantic character, actor, or themes.

10 - At the end of 2022 I was shocked how little of the films I watched were directed and/or written by women. I made it a goal to have over 50% of the films to be from a women writer and/or director, and somehow I achieved that. Watch a film from the Top 250 Women Directed films on LB or from the list of films I watched in 2023 that would fit the prompt.

11 - I have had my fair share of surgery, and watching videos how they are done is akin to body horror to me. I do not know why I watch them, but I find the human body and medical advancement fascinating. Watch a body horror film.

12 - Before the pandemic, I was dabbling in stand-up. Because stand-up as a profession does not translate well to film, you can either watch a film about stand-up comedy or watch a stand-up comedy special.

13 - Today is my birthday. OMG! This year is already going to be better, as I was in the hospital for surgery last year. Watch any movie I have ever logged on Letterboxd.

14 - One thing that is talked about often in the LGBTQIA community is the idea of "chosen family." Watch a film that centers around the theme of a chosen family or friendship.

15 - Discord is a great community, and there are several other than the Scavenger Hunt Discord that I am part of. One of the liveliest is the Oscar Death Race server, where we all try to watch every nominated film every year (and some people will even watch all the shortlisted films). So, in honor of this server watch any film that was nominated for an Oscar in any category.

16 - Another Discord server I am on used to have a podcast called Tubi Talk. You can watch a film they covered on the podcast, or choose from the craziness that Tubi has to offer as the bottomless pit of films available on a streaming service.

17 - Okay, final prompt from one of my Discord servers. But, because I received a couple of great suggestions, I used the wheel of names to choose, and the prompt is to watch a Taiwanese film.

18 - During the pandemic I decided to go to college, even at my older age. Why not, right? It's never too late to start over. Watch a film about someone who makes a life-changing decision in their 40s or later.

19 - While Letterboxd is international, in the States today is Juneteenth. Watch a film by a Black director or a documentary on the history of Black liberation in the United States.

20 - As stated in the opening, this is my second time hosting this hunt. In honor of this being my second time, watch the second movie in a franchise where you have only watched the first film.

21 - Oh, it has been a while since we did something in relation to Pride Month happening in June. So, watch an LGBTQIA film from before you were born. This list might be helpful.

22 - I am a defender of ska music. Watch a movie with a ska band on the soundtrack. If you don't know what bands these might be, here is a partial list of ska musicians from the 50s to present day. And here is a list from Reddit. Worst case scenario, learn more about the genre with documentaries Dance Craze or Pick it Up: Ska in the 90s.

23 - My love of film started when I worked in a movie theater between 1997 and 1998. Watch a film released during those two years.

24 - It is 2024, which baffles me. Growing up the year 2000 seemed so far away and now we are almost a quarter century into this century. This is just a long way of saying this prompt is to watch a film from this year. Original, I know.

25 - I love a "good" bad movie, and maybe that's why Neil Breen follows me on Twitter. Last time I did a prompt for movies on How Did This Get Made, so this time choose a movie from The Most Controversial Films on Letterboxd list.

26 - Due to having a lot of yearly challenges and wanting to close as many of the stat loops, I created a list with every film I would have to watch in 2024 to complete everything at 100%. It won't happen, but I will make a dent. Watch a film from my 2024 to be Watched list.

27 - Today is International Pineapple Day. For this prompt, watch a film that centers around swinging (IYKYK), and since there do not seem to be many, you can also include throuples, polyamory, or ethical non-monogamy. A possible helpful list.

28 - Okay, last Pride month prompt, I promise. There is such a rich history of the LGBTQIA community. Watch a documentary featuring LGBTQIA stories, people, or history. A helpful list.

29 - If you are like me, your watchlist is getting out of control (I'm just under 5k -- Yikes). Watch a film from your watchlist. If you do not keep a watchlist, watch one from mine.

30 - We are at the end of the month. I know I talked a lot about Pride Month in these prompts, but there are other things to be proud of. Think of something you are proud of when it comes to your own identity or culture and find a film related to that.

If you want to substitute any of the prompts, these are substitution prompts you can use as often as you want to replace the prompts that I came up with:

--Watch a film directed by a woman
--Watch a film from the 🌈Pride: A Chronological History of Queer Interest & LGBTQ+ Cinema list.
--Watch a film from my 2024 to be Watchedlist.
--Watch a movie that was mentioned in the documentary Disclosure or watch that documentary.
--Watch a film by a transgender writer and/or director
