Monthly Challenges

I've been thinking about these, seeing as how we're in the middle of one right now. I'm having fun with it, and we can all treat it as a glorious event of comeradery. We're all on a quest for some great recommendations.

What challenges do you know of? And of those, what's the rundown on the rules and what month is it? And WHY is it that month?


Obviously, the main deal is the October Challenge, where we have to watch 31 horror movies, and at least 16 have to be FTVs (first time viewings). That one is the shit, because horror is so vague, you can get away with almost anything.

This Trash Challenge has enough 'sploitation qualities to give you plenty of options to work with as well. We can talk about it after it's over and decide if it needs fine-tuning.

I've heard of a few others. Documentary challenge? Extreme challenge? Black and White challenge? Were those things? I'm not encouraging a LOT of challenges either, because we don't want to overwhelm anyone, but maybe seasonal stuff (max 4 challenges per year?) could work, to help us stay focused.
