I actually feel pretty confident about these films. Some I’ve been meaning to see for a while (Thor, Iron Man, Driving Miss Daisy, Crazy Stupid Love, The Magnificent 7) and some are based on books I”m currently or soon-to-be reading (Coraline, The Virgin Suicides).
Have you seen any of these? What would you pick? (You can still join!)

A good mix of movies! My favorites listed are Star Trek Beyond (actually rewatched it the other day) and Best in Show. I want to see Mr. Homes (big Sherlock Holmes fan), so I’m anxious to hear what you thought about it. Good luck!

As a dog lover I’m so shocked that I’ve never put on Best in Show. Also, I LOVE the first two Star Treks so I’m not sure why it’s taken so long for me to watch these! I’m glad you liked those films- hopefully I will, too!

These always seem so fun! I am not very good at movie challenges though. Even ones I make for myself. I get through like 2/10. HAHA Good luck!! XO – Alexandra

hey lady! i’m SO glad you’re participating again. i love doing this. :]
i’ve got your photos loaded. could you paste your list to the facebook page for me, please?
of the films on your list, i liked thor, iron man, as good as it gets, crazy stupid love and star trek beyond. i’ve seen casanova, coraline, driving miss daisy and at first sight, but i didn’t love them. the rest i’ve not seen in their entirety, so i can’t tell you much about them. i do think you’ve made good choices, overall, though, and wish you luck!

I meant to put that list on FB right away! My bad. It’s there now 😉
My brother has been on my to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. for years and years. He’ll be so happy when I finally watch it 🙂 Also, I’m determined to make my way through the Marvel superhero films so this will totally help!

Woah, that’s a lot of films. Well, for me it is since I average about one film a year haha. Although there are a few on here that I would be interesting in seeing in principle, so I might just go and watch the trailers instead!
Good luck with your challenge!

This sounds like a great challenge!! There are so many great movies I’ve never seen. I tend to just watch TV shows, but when I am home at night I am going to pull out this list and hopefully cross a few off myself! Thanks for sharing.

I’m pretty bad about actually seeing movies I’ve been wanting to see. Hopefully this challenge gives me a little kick when I have free evenings and I’m not in the mood to read 😉

I always say, “Oh I want to see that,” but then I NEVER watch movies. I’m hoping a challenge will force me to slow down and sit down, and watch somethings that I’ve been meaning to get to! (Like Crazy, Stupid, Love. haha!)
