The 1st Annual Academy Award Movie Challenge (January 25, 2007 to February 25, 2007)
#26
Since Ennio Morricone is recieving the Honorary Award, can I watch bunches & bunches of his scored-movies?

It just gives leeway and more options for people who don't have a crapload of Academy Award winning films.

I think a sci-fi challenge could be fun, especially if TV shows counted, like they did for the recent holiday challenge. I'm not really a big sci-fi fan, so I don't have a lot of movies that would qualify, but if episodes of The X-Files and The Twilight Zone counted, I'd be able to participate a lot more.

I think a foreign movie challenge could be fun and it would make more people aware of great foreign cinema.
I wouldn't be interested in a sci-fi challenge.

I've seen most of the sci fi movies out there.
I'm not interested in foreign films if it means I have to get off my butt and rent a bunch of movies to read. Sorry, I just can't stand subtitles. I start to go crosseyed after a while.

Personally, I wouldn't be interested in a foreign movie challenge, since I only have one, with no plans to buy any more. Not much of a challenge there!

I think I'm done with movie challenges after this one. I love doing them, but I need to wait a few months before I do another one. Three challenges back to back to back like this is quite a lot, but I only have myself to blame (at least for this one and the holiday movie challenge)

Enough time's gone by for me to recover from the Halloween one. I'm all up for this challenge. However, a bunch of "Oscar" titles in my collection often go into the 3-hour range. This might limit me from reaching 100, but we'll see.

I do different themes every month on my own anyways. I have so many movies that it helps make me rewatch some that I may have forgotten about. I can honestly say that I love every genre of movie equally. This month I am watching romantic movies, in honor of Valentine's Day next month. February is now Academy Awards month (So that is why I made January romance month) March, I will watch my sports movies in honor of March Madness, baseball about to begin a new season, and football just recently over. April would be great for comedies in honor of April Fools Day. I don't set goals of how many I must watch because for me that takes the fun out of it. I try to watch at least 2 movies a day though.

I've set up tags in Profiler so I'm all set. Question: does listening to the commentaries count as "watching?"

I don't see why the Oscar TV specials would count, as they obviously could not be nominated for Oscars. Now, if there is an Emmys challenge, they might be eligible. Again, though, it's not my challege so it's up to The Monkees.
