Progress - 31/31

2 rewatches and 29 first time watches.

Holy shit. Holy fuck. Holy fuck. Holy shit. Yooooooooooo. What!!!!!!!

Sorry, this sooo cool. I’m hosting a Scavenger Hunt. No wayyyy!!!! Sorry, this is just really cool. 

Oh my lord. Alright, give me a second to breathe.

Okay, we’re good. Anyways, thank you so much to Zoey for hosting the June hunt. Lots of good films watched for that one, hopefully you get another chance to host in future!! If you yourself would like a chance to possibly host the hunt in August then be sure to join the Scavenger Hunt Discord Server to enter the raffle for your chance to win the opportunity to host next month’s hunt. Very excited to see who’s hosting and I am also really excited to see what you guys choose to watch for this month’s hunt.

Sooo, the hunt. For those who know what to do, you know what to do. For those who don’t, here’s how it works.

Below are several prompts, each give little descriptions, most of them are pretty simple and easy to understand but if you’re confused about any then please feel free to ask. So yeah, lots of prompts and each of them let you know what kinds of films to choose. I’m pretty happy with the prompts I’ve chosen for this hunt and hopefully everyone ends up choosing a good variety of films to watch. 

God, I need to stop yapping. I think you’ve got the point by now.

Anyways, hunt time!!! Hoorayyyyy!!!!

Sorry, I’m too overexcited haha.

So, here are the prompts below.

Have fun. And don’t forget, happy hunting!! 😊😊

1. I loveeeee Stranger Things. One of my favourite shows of all time and I am absolutely hyped for the final season, whenvever that comes out haha. So for the first prompt of this month's hunt, sit back and watch a film starring a Stranger Things cast member.

2. Last month's hunt was hosted by Zoey and that month's hunt gave me a lot of good films to watch. For this prompt, watch a film that Zoey has rated 5 stars.

3. Oh shit, it's my birthday today. Oh my lord!! Wow. Ummm. Yeah. Woah, forgot about that tbh. Turning 22 today. God, I'm old. I'm almost at retirement age lmao. Hopefully the wording of this prompt isn't messy but since I turn 22 this year I want to check out a film that was released 22 years before I was born and so I've chosen 1980's Used Cars. So if you're turning 33 years old, watch a film that came out 33 years before you were born. If you're turning 55 years old then watch a film that came out 55 years before you were born. I think that sounds right. God, no offence to them but I hope there's nobody doing this hunt that's turning 90 because you're a bit fucked for this prompt lmao. Sorry about that tho mate, better luck next time.

4. Brooooo, the Muppets. The fucking Muppets. I mean, come the fuck on!! My guys, honestly. Sooo, let's not watch a Muppet movie but instead a non-Muppet movie that stars a Muppet performer in its cast, either voicing a character or playing a live-action character. Yippeeeee.

5. Watch a film that came out 100 years ago in 1924.

6. Musicals!!!!! I love musicals. They are soooo fun. Watch a musical!! 🥳🥳

7. Everyone loves live-action Disney movies. They’ve got some classics like Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Freaky Friday, Holes, The Parent Trap and many others, but they also have their good fair share of forgotten live-action flicks, most of them made during the 60s, 70s and 80s, which for whatever reason I am absolutely intrigued by. So for this prompt, watch one of Disney’s forgotten live-action movies.

8. I just wanna watch something stupid, watch something from my Cinematic Shitposts and “Fuck You” Movies list.

9. I also wanna watch some goofy shit too, watch a film from my Live-Action Cartoon Movies list.

10. Brittany Murphy. Love Brittany Murphy. Watched Uptown Girls last year and loved it and I wanna see more of Brittany Murphy’s filmography. Huge fan. Watch a film starring Brittany Murphy.

11. Now that I’ve suggested a Brittany Murphy movie then why not let Brittany Murphy recommend a movie to you. Watch one of Brittany Murphy’s Blockbuster movie recommendations.

12. Friendly reminder, musicals fucking slap 😎😎. I love ‘em. So for this one, watch a non-musical film that you think would make a great musical adaptation. Go all out for this one, if you think it has musical potential then go for it!!

13. Watched Tommy all the way back for the first time in 2022 and it’s become one of my favourite movies and I absolutely adore the production design in it and ever since I’ve been doing my best to go through director Ken Russell’s filmography. For this prompt, watch a film directed by Ken Russell.

14. Another musical based prompt lmao. Sorry not sorry. Watch a film from the Tone Deaf: The Musical list because I absolutely love those odd little 70s/80s musicals.

15. As you can probably tell, I love a good looking film. Practical sets and great usage of colours? That's some good stuff right there! So for this prompt watch a film from the Visually Insane list.

16. I just feel like watching a trilogy of films that I've not yet seen. Watch a trilogy of films that you've not yet seen. Or, if you're a bit too busy this month, try and at least start a new trilogy to watch 👍👍. 

17. I watched the Canon documentary, Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films, last year and absolutely loved it. The films from Cannon look absolutely nuts and ever since I've been wanting to see more from this amazing studio. Watch a Cannon movie.

18. Mads Mikkelsen. Need I say more. Honestly, what a guy!! Watch a Mads Mikkelsen movie.

19. Watch a film from your watchlist that has been on there for ages, preferably one of the first 100 movies on your watchlist.

20. Been listening to a lot more albums as of late. I've recently finished listening to the entire Beatles discography. They got some good tunes imo. Some bangers if I do say so myself. Well done Beatle. Watch a film that has Beatles music on its soundtrack or uses the music of The Beatles as an important part of the movie.

21. Punch-Drunk Love and Boogie Nights are two of my favourite films of all time. PDL is currently in my top four, I absolutely adore that film. Both of these films are great and were directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who's made some other movies I like. Watch a film from PTA that you've not yet seen. However, if you have seen all of his directorial work then watch a film starring a main cast member from PTA's Punch-Drunk Love.

22. Watch a film that came out last year in 2023 that you haven't managed to see yet.

23. I looooveeee a good opening credits sequence. Whenever I see a new film and they hit you a cool af opening credits sequence, that right there is the shit. I love it. Watch a film you've not yet seen but have heard that its opening credits are really good.

24. The "It's A Mad, Mad. Mad. Mad World" poster is one of my favourite movie posters of all time, and I absolutely love that style of poster artwork. More films need to use that poster style. For this prompt, watch a film with a poster designed by Jack Davis.

25. Some of my favourite movies ever since I was a kid have been spy movies. Spy movies are soooo coool. Watch a spy movie.

26. Sci-Fi is a pretty cool genre, especially the stuff from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. All that weird production value, all that campiness and what not. I love it. Watch a weird sci-fi that was made around that time.

27. Been listening to a lot of the No Such Thing as A Bad Movie podcast recently. Very funny stuff, very haha and quite lmao at times as well. Always brings a smile to my face. Highly reccomend giving it a listen. Anyways, since I'm such a fan, for this prompt watch a film covered on the No Such Thing as A Bad Movie podcast.

28. I have sooo much nostalgia for VHS. I'm pretty sure I'm apart of the last generation who grew up with watching movies on VHS. Good times mate, good times. Watch a film from my Those films you always saw at the VHS or DVD store as a kid but never actually watched but you remember them because of the VHS or DVD covers list.

29. Where would my love for film and film discussion be were it not for the world famous darling of film criticism himself, the Nostalgia Critic. Everybody loves The Critic! How could you not? Sit back and relax and watch a film that has been reviewed by the Nostalgia Critic.

30. I enjoy rewatching movies, mainly movies I like of course, but from time to time I do like to give films that I wasn't huge on second chances. For this prompt, watch a film that you didn't like on your original viewing and see if your opinion of it changes.

31. PHYSICAL MEDIA!!! I loveeee physical media. I have a load of DVDs that I haven't even seen yet but I'm working through it. Watch a film from my Films I Have on DVD That I Haven’t Seen Yet list and for bonus points, see if you yourself can watch one of those films on DVD or any form of physical media as well!!

If you've chosen a film to watch for the DVD prompt and that film is no longer in my list of unwatched DVDs then you can still keep it on your list, don't worry about changing it. If it was there when this scavenger hunt list was posted then that's all good.

And don’t forget to tag your lists and reviews with 'Scavenger Hunt 112' so everyone can see everyone else’s lists so we can all see who’s watching what.

Yep.
