8th Annual Drive-in/Exploitation Challenge Results Thread (April 1-30,2017)

Not a bad year. A bit fewer participants. Total of 1402 films were watched (tentative count, as one list was not numbered and totaled). A couple didn't number their lists, but one only had 2 so I let that one slide. Only 2 lists were abandoned this year. And we have TWO rare Checklist completions. Congratulations to all the participants for making another great challenge.

Code:
<style type="text/css">
.tg  {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;}
.tg td{font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;padding:10px 20px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;}
.tg th{font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;padding:10px 20px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;}

Thanks for running the challenge, caligulathegod! My total was about the same as always, but I got in a number of good first-time watches.

Sorry, I didn't count my first time views. I had 103 (94.5%) if you want to add it.

Almost half of my movies were first time views, so I'm happy. I hope to do better next year. Thanks for a great Challenge, Caligula.

Ditto on the apology here as well. 17/23 were ftv fwiw. 74% if my head math is right.

Ok, corrected. Looks like a few columns had blanks so they just collapsed. I put zeros and they aligned better.

I had 21 first-time viewings (out of 40 viewings). I put that in a post on the discussion thread, but forgot to put it in my list post. Sorry about that.

Thanks again for running this challenge. Looking forward to next year.

I completed the checklist too if you count the handful of allowed free spots I used for categories I tend to avoid or couldn't get a hold of this time. I think I have done so every year. I always like the checklist for getting me to watch a wider variety of exploitation stuff than I would otherwise. I look forward to the optional Elvis movie every year.

Sorry, missed that. It has been corrected. Congratulations. You are in a rare club.
