The Official 2009 HTF DVD Challenge (1 Viewer)

[TonyD]

1. The goal of the challenge is to watch EVERY SINGLE TITLE in your collection (Extras are optional, but, like commentaries, are encouraged).
3. Commentaries are optional (but encouraged).
4. Television titles are excluded from the challenge (movies only folks... watch TV on your own time).
5. The CHALLENGE shall begin at 12:01am on January the 1st, 2008 and end at 11:59 on December the 31st, 2008.
6. This is to track theatrical releases only.

Those are the only guidelines. Use this thread to keep track of the titles you watch. Reserve your place in the thread and then just update that post with each film. Some have much larger collections and can't get through it, so they my decide to skip the extras and just do the films. That's entirely up to you. This is just for fun. No prizes involved if you finish. Just the satisfaction of knowing you watched 'em all. Enjoy.

Link to this thread in your signatures if you would like.

This is gonna be my third year of having a projector (as well as my third year trying the challenge), so lets see if I can beat my pathetically low number from last year (86 out of hundreds). I only include movies I own in the challenge, rated out of four stars (I grew up with the 0-4 scale in the newspapers, I just can't adjust to five for whatever reason). However, just for my own amusement, I also have the list of theatrical screenings, rentals, TV on DVD, that sort of thing, at the bottom of the list.

Movies I've never seen before are in BOLD

Titles viewed on Blu-ray are listed in BLUE

After lurking and not posting for a long time, I've decided to come back and get more active with the HTF again. The Challenge is a good way to keep me active. I have a boatload of movies and TV on DVD. I'm planning on just putting them both here and only after I watch a movie or finish a whole season of TV on DVD. I'll rate it on a five star scale (like anyone cares). Everything here is on regular DVD unless otherwise noted:
