A to Z Movies Challenge

My older sister, Gloria, and I did this fun little thing where we went through the whole alphabet with movie titles. She started out by picking a movie titled or starting with the letter "A." I followed with "B" and so on.

The only "rule" was that the articles 'A,' 'An,' and 'The' didn't count towards the letter of the title we pick. By the end another rule was added: the film had to be released already. (It took months for us to actually watch the "Y" movie because Gloria was waiting for it to come out.)

And just for fun, I've added my personal ratings for each film we watched, ranging from 1-5 stars, 1 being the worst, 5 being the best.

[A] The Aristocats - 5 [B] Baby Driver - 5

[C] Cocktail - 4.5 [D] The Devil Wears Prada - 4.5

[E] The Edge of Love - 1

[F] The Four Musketeers - 3

[G] Gas - 3.75

[H] The Hobbit (trilogy) - 5

[I] Intolerable Cruelty - 2

[J] Jesus Christ Superstar - 3.5

[K] Kronk's New Groove - 4 [L] Lethal Weapon - 4

[M] Maleficent - 3.5

[N] National Treasure - 3.5

[O] Olympus Has Fallen - 3

[P] Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - 4

[Q] Quantum of Solace (James Bond) - 2

[R] Rear Window - 5 [S] A Simple Favor - 4

[T] To All the Boys I've Loved Before - 3

[U] Unbroken - 4 [V] V for Vendetta - 4.5

[W] The Waterboy - 4 [X] X-Men - 5

[Y] Yesterday - 4

[Z] - Zombieland - 3.5

I would definitely recommend doing this with a loved one or close friend. If you really want to challenge yourself, pick movies neither of you have seen before. This was something I tried to do quite often, yet if there was a movie I wanted Gloria to see, I would (occasionally) pick it. I would also recommend scheduling the dates you watch the movies so that the challenge doesn't extend over a ridiculously long amount of time. I am speaking from experience...Ha!
