The Sixteenth Annual May Make-Your-Own Challenge
May 1-31, 2025
This thread is for lists only.
For discussion, go to the May 2025 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., etc., and decide what you think 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.
Since you choose your own Challenge theme, 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 do 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 Media Pile" Threads, please do not use that 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?

Beverly Garland's Career Part 3: 1969-?
Blue = First Time View Red = Rewatch
But first, stuff from the 50s & 60s that showed up:
2025-05-03
1. Strictly Dishonorable Trailer (1951) YouTube
2. Strictly Dishonorable (1951) YouTube
Note: Listed as Armorclad Mentoring Isabelle in Opera 'Caesar' (uncredited) on IMDb.
Note: Beverly Garland’s scene starts around 13 minutes into the movie. It isn’t long but she has plenty of dialogue and is a main character in the scene.
3. Wire Service Season 1 Episode 4 "The Johnny Rath Story" (1956-10-25) YouTube
4. Trackdown Season 2 Episode 25 "Hard Lines" (1959-03-11) YouTube
Note: Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley)
Note: Derek Flint (James Coburn)
Note: Grandma Walton (Ellen Corby)
Note: I found out that the unsold pilot Russell is from 1961 so I’ll add it here:
5. The Forsaken Westerns “Russell” (2018) YouTube
Note: Directed by the guy who directed The In-Laws, Arthur Hiller.
2025-05-04
6. The O. Henry Playhouse Season 1 Episode 1 "The Reformation Of Calliope" (1957-01-23) Roku
2025-05-05
7. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 5 ''The Littlest Rebel'' (1969-11-01) YouTube
8. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 6 ''Two Weeks To Go'' (1969-11-08) YouTube
9. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 7 ''One Week To Go'' (1969-11-15) YouTube
10. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 8 ''Came The Day'' (1969-11-22) YouTube
11. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 9 ''Mexican Honeymoon'' (1969-11-29) YouTube
12. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 10 ''After You, Alphonse'' (1969-12-13) YouTube
13. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 11 ''Rough On Dodie'' (1969-12-20) YouTube
14. My Three Sons Season 10 Episode 12 ''Silver Threads'' (1969-12-27) YouTube
Now that I’ve finished the 60s I’m going to start the 70s!
1970
Well, I'm back! That was a long pause...
2025-05-29
Cutter's Trail (1970-02-06) ok.ru
Note: Mr. Edwards (Victor French)
Note: Her role is small in this pilot movie, just a couple of short scenes at the beginning and one short scene at the end.
Well, not a great amount of stuff. And I think I got tired of My Three Sons pretty quickly. It wasn't bad or anything, it was just a 'once-a-week' show not well suited to binge watching.

MEXICAN MOVIE MANIA!
May 11. Un Cuento de Pescadores (A Fisherman's Tale) (2025) Very atmospheric horror film set in a Mexican fishing village. Pretty damn good.
May 2
2. Tres Noches de Locura (Three Nights of Madness) (1970) Anthology film of three women who went mad for various reasons.
May 3
3. Adiós Lagunilla, Adiós (Goodbye Lagunilla, Goodbye) (1986) Part three in the "Lagunilla" series about the lives of the lower class in one of Mexico City's more run-down neighborhoods. Not nearly as funny as the first two.
May 4
4. El Reventón (The Bash) (1977) A spoiled rick kid hangs out with ne'er-do-wells. Worth a watch to see MILF Ana Luisa Peluffo nude.
May 5
5. Lío de Faldas (Skirt Trouble) (1969) Comedy about five young women about to be evicted from their home.
May 6
6. Morirás Con el Sol (You'll Die With the Sun) (1973) Melodrama around rival biker gangs.
May 7
7. Siempre Hay Una Primera Vez (There's Always A First Time) (1971) Anthology film about three women and their first sexual experience.
May 8
8. Presagio (Omen) (1974) A movie based on a story by none other than Gabriel García Marquez, possibly the most famous Latin American writer and adapted by the author himself. A small town believes a bad omen has befallen the town and their doom-laden behavior makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
May 9
9. Al Filo del Agua (At the Water's Edge) (1977) Based on a very artsy Mexican novel, this is an equally artsy Mexican film. Some nude scenes sprinkled throughout keeps one interest but your guess is as good as mine as to what this movie's about.
May 10
10. El Ardiente Deseo (The Burning Desire) (1971) Smoking hot Christa Linder stars in this tale of adultery.
May 11
11. Fantoche (Hoodlum) (1977) Coming of age drama about a middle class Mexican family.
May 12
12. Guadalajara Es México (Guadalajara Is Mexico) (1975) Vehicle for then popular folk singer Cornelio Reyna whose acting gives new meaning to "wooden". Beautiful starlet Veronica Castro is his unlikely love interest.
May 13
13. Rosario (1969) Heavy-handed drama about a suffering mother.
