The Fifth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge
May 1-31, 2014


This thread is for lists only.
For discussion, go to the May 2014 Make-Your-Own Challenge Discussion Thread.

It's time, once again, to take a look at your dusty, unopened box sets, your unwatched stacks of Blu-rays, DVDs, HD-DVDs, LDs, VHS or Beta tapes, your DVR, your Netflix queue, etc., and decide what you should spend 31 days watching. Now's your chance to finally watch all the stuff that didn't fit, or that you just didn't get around to, during the other Challenges.

You choose your own Challenge theme and you make the rules.

There are however a few guidelines which everyone should follow.

Challenge Guidelines:

The Challenge runs from May 1 through May 31.

Sure, you can run your May MYOC in September if you want, but the list thread will only be stickied during May, so if you want anyone else to see what you're up to, please try to do it near those dates.

Please state your challenge theme and your challenge goal and rules (if any) at the top of your list(s) in the list thread so others can tell what you're doing.

Please don't duplicate an existing "Official" DVD Talk Challenge.

This guideline is mainly here so we don't subtract from participation in any of the other Challenges, and to encourage participants to focus on genres not already covered by a Challenge, but since everyone's "need to watch" list is different, and you're able to watch stuff that qualifies for one or more of the other Challenges during every other Challenge, you're free to narrow the focus of one of the broader "Official" Challenges.

For example; Say you only collect horror, then you could make your Challenge to watch just horror films, or just horror TV shows, or just zombie films, etc. Or if you have lots of unwatched Sci-Fi, then your MYOC could be just watch Sci-Fi movies, or watch Star Trek shows, or watch TOS, etc.

Since we already have Monthly "Unwatched Movie Pile" Threads, please do not use "Unwatched Movie Pile" as a theme.

During past MYOCs, people weren't happy with this being used as a theme, and I tend to agree that it is a little lazy. So how about giving a little thought to the theme and coming up with something a little more creative, please?

Check out the previous threads for ideas:

Thanks, GoldenWheels!

HOW TO WIN
On June 1st, three winners will be randomly chosen from the Challenge participants (using Random.org). In keeping with the spirit of the Make-Your-Own Challenge, those three winners will pick their own prizes from HamiltonBook.com.

Prize selection will be limited to items priced $20 or less.

You must have a US mailing address to receive a prize.

Any unclaimed prize opportunities will be re-gifted on June 4.

I will announce the prizes chosen so we can all be envious and/or amused by the selections.

My 2010 MYOC - "Directed by Alfred Hitchcock" Challenge
My 2011 MYOC - "James Bond/Pink Panther-palooza" Challenge
My 2012 MYOC - "Commentary Track Challenge"
My 2013 MYOC - "Son of Commentary Track Challenge"



Rules: Watch SWV releases only. Easy counting. Commentaries count.
Goals: Watch at least 50 items (including at least a dozen commentaries by Mike Vraney and Dave Friedman).

5/1/14

1) Something Weird (1968) with commentary by David F. Friedman and Mike Vraney (plus Herschell Gordon Lewis for about ten minutes) - Mike and H.G. discuss the film for a few minutes, then Mike talks about how he started SWV, how he met Dave, and how he went from being a bootlegger to being a legitimate video distributor. A perfect start for this challenge.
2) Street Corner (1948) with commentary by David F. Friedman, Mike Vraney, and Frank Henenlotter - Dave Friedman talks about roadshowing sexual hygiene pictures. A great commentary if you're interested in the exploitation film business.
3) Audio Interview with Dan Sonney and Mike Vraney - Dan Sonney talks about his career in roadshows and exploitation filmmaking. Interesting and informative.
4) Audio Interview with Claude Alexander and Mike Vraney - Claude Alexander talks about his career in roadshows and exploitation filmmaking. Interesting and informative.

5/2/14

5) The Shame of Patty Smith (1962) - A young woman is raped by three lowlifes and ends up pregnant. Pretty classy film about abortion.
6) "You've Ruined Me Eddie!" (1958) - Spoiled rich chick dumps her poor boyfriend when she finds out she's pregnant and he wants her to have the kid.
7) How Much Affection? (1957) - Educational short. Check it out yourself.

5/4/14

8) The Female: Seventy Times Seven (1962) - FTV - Surprisingly good Western/Film Noir hybrid from Argentina. A rancher takes a girl from a trading post to live with him on his farm, then a horse thief enters the picture, complicating their lives.

5/5/14

9) Fuego (1969) - FTV - Argentinian sex flick about a nymphomaniac and the man who loves her. Over-the-top acting, over-the-top Latin music: It's a telenovela with full frontal nudity.
10) The Concubines (The Notorious Concubines) (1969) - Japanese warlord goes through a bunch of wives. Dubbed in English and released by Harry Novak.

5/6/14

11) Violated Paradise (1963) - Girl moves to Japan and falls in love. More or less a travelogue about Japan with a narrative thrown in.

5/10/14

12) Kidnapped Coed (The Kidnap Lover / Date with a Kidnapper) (1976) - I love this film. The scenes in the hotel in the first half of the film are terrific. It gets a little weird in the second half, but it's still a fun flick. It's a pity the director, Frederick R. Friedel, didn't do more films (be sure to check out Axe too).

5/11/14

13) Hitch Hike to Hell (1977) - Goofy mamma's boy delivery driver picks up runaways and rapes and murders them while the Professor investigates his crimes.
14) Harry Novak Tour Boxoffice International, 1992 I wouldn't have included this, but it was 27 minutes long. Harry Novak shows Mike Vraney around his offices, film vault, storerooms, and screening room.
15) The Dangerous Stranger (1950) & The Cautious Twins (1960) Two educational shorts about "stranger danger." The second short's only a few minutes long, so I didn't think it deserved its own listing.
16) The Pig Keeper's Daughter (1972) - A traveling salesman has a few adventures on his way to meeting Moonbeam, the titular daughter. Another Bethel Buckalew backwoods sex comedy.

5/12/14

17) Sassy Sue (1973) - Yet another Bethel Buckalew backwoods sex comedy. John Tull plays Junior (again) who is in love with a cow named Sassy Sue. Sharon Kelly plays one of his cousins.
18) The Old Man's Bride (1967) - Odd little film about an old widower who marries a younger woman and brings her back home only to have her run off again and again.

5/13/14

19) A Smell of Honey a Swallow of Brine (1966) - "Paula, I may be a bitch, but I'll never be a butch." Stacey Walker plays Sharon, a demented chick who likes to get men, and one woman, worked up, and then cry rape. Slick roughie written by Dave Friedman.
20) A Sweet Sickness (1968) - Young Midwestern girl in Hollywood is repeatedly abused by men, and women, as she tries to get an acting job.
21) The Brick Dollhouse (1967) - Cops investigate a murder.
22) A Smell of Honey a Swallow of Brine (1966) with commentary by David F. Friedman, Mike Vraney, and Frank Henenlotter - They talk about the last three films, how Dave met Stacey Walker, and how much Dave hated The Brick Dollhouse.

5/15/14

23) The Fiend of Dope Island (Whiplash) (1961) - FTV - Guy with a whip grows marijuana and mistreats his employees. Nothing special, but at least it was short.
24) Pagan Island (1960) - FTV - Survivor of a shipwreck washes up on an island populated by topless women, and falls for the girl who is to be their next sacrifice to their sea god.
25) Virgins of Bali (1932) - FTV -
26) Perilous Paradise (19??) - FTV -

Challenge Summary: This was much tougher than I imagined. I watched a great deal of DVR content, but I kept adding to it which made it hard to progress. I did take a helpful step, investing in a program in which I could burn some of the DVR content to DVDs. So I began that the last week or 2 of the month. For this reason, I ended the month with space available: 160 Hours, 21 Minutes

Re: The Fifth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge - May 1-31, 2014 **List Thread**



1st Annual National Film Registry Challenge




Challenge Rules and Goals - watch any film that has been inducted in the National Film Registry, since its inception in 1989. Twenty-five films are chosen to be added to the preservation list every year. They must at least ten years old, shot on film and American productions. These are influential and important films of all kinds. Many of them are part of The Criterion Collection. I have stock piled many of these and I'm aiming to focus on works I have not seen before. If a film is a repeat viewing, it's likely because I am watching it with a commentary or that I haven't seen it in years. I have created an accompanying checklist, which I will also attempt. I have wanted to do this challenge for some time and hope to make it an annual event. It's a nice follow-up to the April exploitation challenge and it's designed to broaden my scope and appreciation of cinema.

May 1
01. Jailhouse Rock (Richard Thorpe, 1957) inducted 2004
This was my first entry for a monthly challenge I'm doing where I will watch films that have been inducted into the National Film Registry. It's Elvis, so it crossed over with the end of my B-Movie challenge which I do on DVD Talk each April. It's an okay flick that's more drama that musical. "Jailhouse Rock" is the centre-piece number and the only entertaining song. Certainly better than some of the more trivial Elvis vehicles that would follow, but from what I've seen of it, Viva Las Vegas is the best Elvis movie. There are lots of slimeballs in the music industry here and they shamelessly steal from the King and exploit him. One also has to appreciate a record company called Climax Studios. The seventies were still a few years away, apparenty. 5.2/10
02. The Endless Summer (Bruce Brown, 1966) inducted 2002
I love surfing movies whether they're documentary or narrative. This is a classic in every sense. It captures the late '60s in a colorful travelogue. I love that the shots are mostly from the edge of beach in wide shot. It allows you to appreciate the size and scope of the waves, and to see all the surfers dangerously sharing the waves. I love the ass crack revealing bikinis of those Australian surfer chicks. Needs The Beach Boys music for that segment. 8.3/10

May 2
03. A Raisin in the Sun (Daniel Petrie, 1961) inducted 2005
Gorgeous photography of a beautiful African American cast. I love adaptations of stage plays that allow for the writing and characters to remain central. All of the actors are terrific and engaging. I'm becoming a Sidney Poitier fan having seen In the Heat of the Night earlier this year for the first time. Since this story revolves entirely around an inner city black family, it felt more progressive than Jewison's Southern based film. The tragic elements are gut-wrenching and haven't lost their power. This is an amazing piece of cinema and I'm glad I finally sat down to watch it. 9.3/10

May 4
04. The Magnificent Ambersons (Orson Welles, 1942) inducted 1991
Welles was so ahead of his time as a director. This retains much of the style of Citizen Kane, and in terms or photography and set design. You can see the ceilings and experience the full opulence of the Ambersons' mansion in lush low angle frames and gleaming deep focus. The story of a family's problems adjusting to the changing times as the industrial revolution remains relevant. Welles does voice-over narration like nobody's business...take that Morgan Freeman. 7.8/10
05. The Pink Panther (Blake Edwards, 1964) inducted 2010
This first entry in the series is more of a curiosity now than anything. It only hints at the comic hyperbole that made the later films such a memorable part of my childhood. There's too much David Niven and not enough Peter Sellers. Even Sellers hadn't quite the full grasp of Clouseau's potential yet, and while there are lots of pratfalls, the smug idiocy of the character and the accent weren't quite there. I'm happy to have finally seen it, though. I will get to A Shot in the Dark sometime soon (which is the only other entry in the series I've missed). But damn, I wanted to see Cato and Chief Inspector Dreyfus. I'm a child of the seventies, folks. 5.9/10

Re: The Fifth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge - May 1-31, 2014 **List Thread**

For the last couple of years my challenge has been the comic book movie challenge but this year I'm switching to the:

MUSIC ON DVD CHALLENGE

This encompasses concert films, music video collections or musicals. Unless otherwise noted, everything is from my personal collection. I'm going more or less in alphabetical order with the exception of the first entry which I had bought a couple of weeks ago and was waiting for the challenge to begin to see it.

May 1
1. The Beatles Tribute
(2014) A 2 DVD collection of various performances by artists that have covered Beatles songs live. The artists range from Frank Sinatra to Stone Temple Pilots. Best performance IMO, Natalie Merchant singing a moving rendition of Nowhere Man.
2. ABBA The Movie (1977) Part concert film and part journal of the pop supergroup's Australian tour. I was lucky enough to see this in the movie theatre back in the day and it still holds up as a great snapshot of perhaps the best pop band of all time.

May 2
3. ABBA in Concert
(1979) Concert from their 1979 London concert with some documentary footage thrown in.

May3
4. ABBA in Japan
(1978) TV special and documentary from ABBA's visit to Japan. Some studio performances and interviews. You can hear the band speaking in their native Swedish in some parts which is cool.

May 4
5. ABBA: Thank You For the Music
() A collection of television appearances from German TV. Some lip-synched and others live. It includes stuff from the very beginning until after they had broken up with some solo performances by Anni-Frid and Agnetha. A rarity is a jam with Olivia Newton-John and Andy Gibb.

May 5
6. ABBA: Ring, Ring - Deluxe Edition
(2013) Very early performance of People Need Love and Ring, Ring plus Benny recalls how the title track was written.
7. ABBA: Waterloo - Deluxe Edition (2014) No less than 9 different performances of the title track plus two more of Honey, Honey.
8. ABBA: ABBA - Deluxe Edition (2012) The specials ABBA in Australia and Made in Sweden - For Export plus more TV performances and album promo commercials.

May 6
9. ABBA: The Definitive Collection
(2002) Every single promotional video clip made by the band. It's incredible how before their time they were. How many 70's artists have as many music videos? Nobody I'll wager.

May 7-8 - Nothing

May 9
10. ABBA: Number Ones
(2006) Every single promotional video clip made by the band. But this time with uncompressed sound as in The Definitive Collection (a noticeable improvement) plus a few TV performances.
11. AC/DC: Let There Be Rock (1980) Concert film with original singer Bon Scott. The band is young, hungry and full of energy. Great raw and in your face hard rock.

May 10
12. AC/DC: Stiff Upper Lip Live
(2001) German concert from the Stiff Upper Lip tour
13. AC/DC: No Bull - The Director's Cut (2008) Re-release of a 1996 home video with a different and longer edit. Concert is from the Ballbreaker tour in Barcelona, Spain.

May 11
14. Alizée En Concert
(2008) French Lolita-esque pop singer doing all her hits.
15. Anvil, the Story of Anvil (2008) A must-see. Hilarious and deeply moving at the same time. Brought me to tears yet again.
16. Arch Enemy: Live Apocalypse (2006) Disc 1 Swedish death metalers in a blistering 2006 London show.

May 12
17. Arch Enemy: Live Apocalypse
(2006) Disc 2 Music videos, multi-angle live songs, interviews, gear talk and tour documentary.

May 13
18. Asia: Spirit of the Night
(2009) Live in Cambridge, 2009 concert from the reunited Asia with its original members. Showing their age but still rocking pretty good.

May 14
19. Barilari
(200?) Solo concert from the singer of the Argentinian heavy metal band Rata Blanca.

May 15
20. Black Sabbath: Never Say Die
(2003) Concert from the Never Say Die tour with all four original members of Black Sabbath
21. Black Sabbath: Cross Purposes Live (1994) 1994 concert from the Cross Purposes tour. Original members Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Bulter (bass) are joined by singer Tony Martin and drummer Bobby Rondinelli.

May 16
22. Black Sabbath: The Last Supper
(1999) The reunited original members: Ozzy Osbourne (v), Tony Iommi (g), Geezer Butler (b) and Bill Ward (d).

May 17
23. Blackmore's Night: Castles and Dreams
(2005) Disc 1 - Full concert from Ritchie Blackmore's (formerly of Deep Purple and Rainbow) band. Renaissance music in a castle setting.
24. Blackmore's Night: Castles and Dreams (2005) Disc 2 - Acoustic performances, interviews, music videos and documentaries.

May 18
25. Sarah Brightman in Concert
(1997) The title says it all.

May 19
26. Sarah Brightman: One Night in Eden
(1999) A more elaborate stageshow from The Diva.

May 20
27. Sarah Brightman: La Luna
(2000) A moon-themed production that continues with the theatrical stylings seen in One Night in Eden.

May 21
28. Sarah Brightman: Harem
(2003) Not a concert but a musical special filmed in the middle east. Basically one long music video for the Harem album. She looks fantastic in this one.

May 22
29. Sarah Brightman: Symphony
(2009) Concert in a Vienna cathedral. Sarah is a lot more rocking in this one.
30. Les Miserables (2014) Blu Ray rental. Having the actors sing almost ALL of the dialogue can get trying at times but the actual songs make up for that. Who knew these actors could sing so well and yes, I'm even referring to Russell Crowe.

May 23 - Nothing

May 24
31. Charlotte Church: Enchantment
(2001) Concert from Cardiff, Wales, the then teenaged singer's home town. A fantastic and pure voice. She does some classical songs mixed with English folk and some show tunes.

May 25
32. Cinderella in Concert
(2005) 1991 show from the bluesy hard rockers. They were way better than most of the "hair metal" bands that they were unjustly lumped together with at the time.
33. Alice Cooper: The Nightmare Returns 1987 show from the shock-rocker. Here he was still in fine form.

May 26
34. Alice Cooper: Brutally Live
Brutal Planet Tour.

May 27
35. Alice Cooper: Theatre of Death, Live at Hammersmith
The most elaborate stage show yet from Alice. He is beheaded, impaled by swords, injected with a giant hypodermic needle and hung... but he keeps coming back.

May 28
36. Deep Purple: Live in Concert 72/73
(1992) Televised concerts by the band in what look like TV studios.

May 29
37. Deep Purple: History, Hits and Highlights '68-'76
(2009) Disc 1 Probably the most comprehensive collection of early Purple.

May 30
38. Deep Purple: History, Hits and Highlights '68-'76
(2009) Disc 2 More great stuff.

May 31
39. Deep Purple: Come Hell or High Water
(2001) Concert from The Battle Rages on Tour with a reunited Mark II lineup featuring a sullen Richie Blackmore.

Re: The Fifth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge - May 1-31, 2014 **List Thread**

This is the space for my list. Here's my challenge(s):

1. Finish 30 Rock - I'm half way through season 4 at the moment
2. Make headway with Star Trek: The Next Generation - I'm partway through the blu rays of Season 2 with the Season 3 box set also beckoning me. They look beautiful.
3. Make headway with Knots Landing. I'm one episode away from finishing Season 2.
4. Make headway with Dark Shadows. I'm almost at episode 400.
5. Watch as many post-Weissmuller Tarzan movies as possible.

I will be scoring my viewings. I'm counting in half-hour slots, so for TV episodes anything made to fit a 30 minute slot counts as 0.5, anything made to fit a 60 minute slot counts as 1, etc. For films, I'm looking at the running time according to IMDB and measuring it to the nearest 15 minute slot. So a film lasting 138 minutes would score 2.5

I'll also be logging my non-challenge related viewing here, but I'll hide it in a spoiler tag.

1 May 2014 - today's total 2.75
30 Rock S04E13: Anna Howard Shaw Day (score 0.5)
STTNG S02E12: The Royale (score 1)
Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949) (score 1.25)

Non-challenge related viewing:
Spoiler:
2 May 2014
Shoot to Kill (1947) (score 1)
Beethoven (1992) (score 1.5)

total non-challenge related viewing = 2.5
added to challenge related viewing = 5.25
