NOTES
• Remember to review each film with the tag letterboxd season challenge and/or lsc10, along with the weekly tag (e.g. lsc10 week1, lsc10 week2, lsc10 bonus1, etc.).
• The original list can be found HERE.
• I’m going to try to rank the films as I go.
• I will only count the films I deliberately watch to satisfy this list, not any I merely happen to watch on a whim.
• This is my first year doing the challenge!
• I got a little general life burnout in the autumn and feel behind, so I’ll be aiming to catch up in early 2025.
