Congratulations to the winners! Thanks Dimention X for running the challenge! This was another fun month! While I didn't hit any of my goals, I got a lot of viewing done and was able to finish one anime series. As several others have stated, I may update my list as the year goes on. There are a lot of unexplored foreign films out there!

I was amazed at what is considered "cult" and watched tons of stuff! I might do that theme again...
Congrats to the winners (I'd totally forgotten this one has winners), as always, huge thanks to Hamiltonbooks.com for providing prizes, and thanks to Dimension X for running things!

Wow, I saw the PM and I thought I messed up my answers for Abob Teff's Sheeperhero Sheep game. Very cool, thanks, and congrats to everyone! This month got away from me and I was not able to watch very much for the challenge. I was happy to go through my Bruce Lee collection and finally saw Game of Death which was disappointing but nice to see Bruce, albeit briefly, at the end. This was my first Make-Your-Own Challenge but not my last.
Thanks Dimension X for running the challenge and thanks Hamilton Books for the prizes!

Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to Dimension X for keeping this going. I had a great time with Japanese films and TV and watched 32 movies, 20 half hour TV shows and around 4.5 hours of special features. As a matter of fact, I don't really want to totally give up this challenge yet so like a few others I'll continue to update my list as I watch additional relevant material. I plan to watch some that will also count in the historical challenge but also a lot that won't double count.

Thanks! I was kind of in the same boat. I was excited for this challenge for at least 6 months. I can't believe it's [officially] over already.

Thanks Dimension X for hosting this challenge again. I know it's been discussed whether to keep it going, but I love it, and love coming up with themes. I already have one for next year so I'm counting the months!

I just noticed that I watched 68 items during May for my challenge. Last year, at the end of May, I had ALSO watched 68 items in my Gyllenhaal challenge. Funny.

Congrats to all the winners.
Well that's it for me. This one always runs pretty easily, plus I usually get an idea for what my challenge will be and start getting ready for it in about January, so it's not too hard for me to talk myself into hosting it again by the time April rolls around.
I had a good time with my challenge. I only saw a few stinkers, watched a couple of really good flicks for the first time, and rewatched a few old favorites, along with some I saw so long ago, I barely remembered them. I still have lots of unwatched stuff that qualifies, so I'll probably watch some more this month and add them to my list.
Thanks to everyone who participated. You folks are the only reason I keep doing this year after year. We had about the same number of challengers this year as last year, which I really wasn't expecting, so, again, thank you.
Finally, a big thanks once again to GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books for the prizes.

Thanks for hosting again Dimension. I started off strong with the movie portion of my challenge and kind of fizzled there, but almost got all my goals completed (and another today). Plus my SF Giants seem to have a great month when I chose that as part of my challenge, so I hope this continues haha.

Though I quit updating my list in the first couple days of June, I'm still hitting my challenge hard. Just finished an elk hunting show on the Outdoor Channel, for example.
