This year the movie challenge is simple and fun! A chance to watch films we might not normally choose, and no arguing about who gets to pick! Introducing The Friday Night Film.
One jar, two colours and two of each letter of the alphabet, (The and A don’t count, so The Fog would be an F movie… etc etc)
For more info, check out the whole post here.
Short Summary:
Every Friday night we will choose a star from the jar, red is Kay’s choice, blue is Stu’s, each star is lettered from A-Z and the film must begin with that letter (“A” and “The” don’t count).
We did this in 2020, trying to pick films we own; but don’t choose to watch as often as others. We enjoyed this so much we’re doing it again in 2021! We made a few changes due to limited options and added “or #” so we can choose a movie beginning with a number in its place for some letters.
Join in!
You can of course create a movie jar of your own and join in, or just let us know what you would choose for some (or all!) of the letters, you can comment below or follow on Twitter and add yours in a comment for each letter when they are revealed!
