Do you like cult movies? All kinds? All right, good, because this is the ultimate challenge. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, The 2024 (and 9th Annual) Cult Movie Challenge!

This challenge is to watch a film once a week for the entire year. Each week will be a different theme (although there will be a lot of examples of overlap), which hopefully will allow for a lot of diversity and a lot of fun.

"Alright, sounds fun. But how do I go about doing this challenge?"

I'm glad you asked, non-existent person. This is my personal list for the challenge, but it also works as the rules. If you switch to "LIST VIEW", you'll see under each movie:
1) what week it is
2) what the theme is
3) a description of the theme
4) a list to assist you in choosing a movie
5) a tag for your review for the week
SOME NOTES/RECOMMENDATIONS ABOUT THE CHALLENGE:
The goal here is to get a good variety of cult movies over various decades, genres, and countries.

All of the lists put in the notes are recommended lists. With some weeks, like Bad Movie week or Zombie week, there will probably be some on the list that don't work so well, and some not on the list that would work just fine. They're not definitive, but they're good stepping stones.

With every viewing, don't forget to tag your reviews/views with "cmc2024" and that week's number (i.e. cmc2024week1 for Anime Week, etc.), so we can all do an easy search for each other's reviews. Also, don't forget to tag your list with "cmc2024list" so we can all be judgmental of each other's choices.

Don't feel like your initial selections have to be what you watch. If you come across problems with accessibility, or you just plain want to go with a different movie, feel free to swap them out.

If you fall behind, don't worry. Sometimes interest can wane, or sometimes things come up. We've got a whole year to do this, so you've got plenty of time to catch up.
Like a theme so much you want to double or, dare I say it, even triple dip? Go for it!

All right, everybody! Let's get our lists together and have a good campy time!
