Letterboxd Scavanger Hunt

This month Iwill be doing the Letterboxd Scavengerhunt hosted by the user named preisman Below is the propts... 1 prompt per day of the month... that I have to watch though  I can watch as fast as I like. That is if I can watch them all before the month is over. Wish me luck!

Prompts:
1. My first Scavenger Hunt was #41 way back in 2018. It was one of the main reason I joined Letterboxd. And a reason I keep coming back. I only reached 13 out of 30 films for my first try. And I really want to finally complete the challenge.

2. If there is one great thing about the Letterboxd Scavenger Hunt is finding new and interesting movies. Sadly, I can't get around to watching every movie in my lists. I average about 8 movies from a Scavenger Hunt each month. The most interesting films get added to my Watchlist. I also fail to make any serious progress watching those movies. HELP!

8. I need more help. I created an ever-evolving list of the most popular films I have not seen by year.

9. I do not give 5 star ratings out often. If I have, I consider them very special to me in some way. Or they are so bonkers I can't help but love them. It's not usually because they are perfect films.

10. Ten out of 10, would recommend
Watch a movie you would recommend to anyone, everyone, and ME. I will try to watch it. Or I would at least add it to my watchlist for a later date. If I have seen it, then it must be worth watching it again. Cheers!

11. I am born and raised in Florida. It is home. It is a great place. And at times it can be terrible. But, it does bring me joy and I love seeing Florida in film.

15. I joined the Air Force 19 years ago and I'm getting close to retiring. I can't explain how positive the experience has been. I'll leave the service a far better person than when I joined.

Watch a Beau Miles film. His stuff is all on YouTube.

My Thoughts:

Scavenger Hunt 101
Task #17.

Watch a Lethal Weapon movie I really enjoyed this final chapter in the franchise. It is a very strong conclusion. In this one they added Chris Rock... who I am not a huge fan of but I really liked how they did his part of the story. And they also had Jet Lee who was just plain awesome. Lots of great action and lots of laughs. I highly recommend this entire franchise... Is a must see!

Burt Reynolds leads the downfield charge in this raucous, rough-and-tumble comedy-drama directed by Robert Aldrich (The Flight of the Phoenix, The Dirty Dozen). Reynolds plays one-time pro quarterback Paul Crewe, now behind bars for leading the state police on a wild chase in a "borrowed" car. Eddie Albert (Roman Holiday), in a sharp turn away from his "Green Acres" persona, is the sadistic, scheming warden who recruits Crewe to form a team of convicts to go up against the warden's polished, semi-pro team of prison guards in a championship game. Crewe has agreed that his team – dubbed the "Mean Machine" – will provide only passive resistance to the squad of brutal guards. But the gridiron showdown turns into a gritty game of cunning strategy and outright survival as the Mean Machine defies the warden's iron-fisted control and attempts to go the distance in The Longest Yard!

My Thoughts:

Scavenger Hunt 101
Task #11.

Watch a movie that takes place in Florida I enjoyed this one. It was a lot a fun and had a few familar faces in it as well. Had some real characters for players and of course a real asshole of a warden. One thing I never could stand is a man that don't know how to keep his word. Film has plenty of laughs in it. Well worth the time put in to watch it.
