Why would you waste a day's film-watching on seeing a film that you hate?

And on day 30, the last film you saw would have been the film you saw on day 29.

I don't think people are supposed to watch them. In essence it's just a pointless listing of movies that you like/hate/have just seen/blah/blah/pointless/etc.

The challenge was popularised on social networking sites such as Facebook and Tumbler. The object was to list a film that corresponded to every day, not to watch one on every day.

Sorry OP, list threads are against the forum charter.
