Fall Film Challenge

This fall film challenge was created by Jen from quirky pickings (her post is here). I think I signed up for this challenge last year, then proceeded to watch exactly zero of the films (and basically stopped blogging, but let's not talk about that).

Basically, the challenge starts tomorrow, September 1 and runs until November 30. All films must be previously unseen and have been shown in a theater. If you want to join in, got to this Facebook group!

three. any featuring a child as the main character. The Goonies
four. any disney film. Frozen

  4. I'm doing this challenge too! Got your link from Facebook. We'll both be watching Up, Blade Runner, His Girl Friday, and Zookeeper.

    Of the things I've seen on your list, I like Frozen, X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Avengers, and Pitch Perfect a lot. I was actually disappointed in Foxcatcher. It dragged a little more than I would have liked. A lot of people really love it though.

    Good luck! :)

  7. The Wolf of Wall Street is an amazing film, on for a long time but still enjoyable! Definitely a must watch.
    I can't believe you haven't seen Frozen, although I love Disney movies so that is probably why i've seen it!
    I will be watching Zookeeper and The Great Gatsby with you, can't wait to find out what you thought!
