Anti-Turkey Challenge 2025

So a brand new challenge and a slight revision of the rules. Using IMDb, the idea is is to watch as many movies as you can rated 7.0+. Well, ideally 8.0+ but see below as to how I will try to encourage this...

1. Scoring:
8.9+ = 6 points
8.6-8.8 = 5 points
8.3-8.5 = 4 points
8.0-8.2 = 3 points
7.5-7.9 = 2 points
7.0-7.4 = 1 point

2. FTV = 1 point

3. Can be any genre.

4. Trifectas: franchises and directors only however they only apply to movies rated 7.5+
A movie can only count towards one trifecta. For example, the "Dark Knight" trilogy can be either director or franchise but not both. If you decide to count "Dark Knight" as a franchise trifecta and then watch another Nolan movie like Inception, you will need to watch another two of his movies 8.0+ to count as a director trifecta.
Trilogies such as The Godfather can be counted in the "franchise" rule but not something like Leone's "Dollars" trilogy because they are too loosely connected.

Single trifecta: 5 points
Double trifecta: +7 points
Triple trifecta: +9 points
Etc.

5. Movies with a rating of 6.9 or under do not count.

6. Running time must be at least 60 minutes.

7. Starts 00:00 1st January and ends 23:59 31st January in your respective time zones

So come on people, grab a spot and get watching some of those classics or to some, overrated movies!
