Original Challenge
'backlog2023' Tag
My progress: 2/52
Living, dynamic list. To start with I've only queued up a month's worth, and I reserve the right to choose or modify my weekly choices for this challenge throughout the year. I want to respond and improvise based on my whims and new or new-to-me movies.
Challenge rules quoted from the original:
The rules are simple.
-You can tackle the list in any order you want.
-The films must be from your movie queues, Watchlist or you can see them in theatres.
-They must be new to you.
I suggest doing the list in order since the weeks line up with certain calendar dates.
It's never too late to start!
