Not Just a Viewing List

Ok, challenge number 2...

Watch each of last decade's Oscar winners of Best Film.

Here's the list:
2000 Gladiator
2001 A Beautiful Mind
2002 Chicago
2003 Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
2004 Million Dollar Baby
2005 Crash
2006 The Departed
2007 No Country for Old Men
2008 Slumdog Millionaire
2009 tbc March 7th!

This is less of a hardship than my Pulitzer challenge, but I will watch these in order and review them when I can.

Any other ideas for challenges??

Only one I've not seen is Chicago. Some really good films on the list, but equally some notable absentees...

I haven't seen Chicago either. And that's the one I'm least looking forward to!!

I agree with you - where's 'The Mummy Returns'??

What else would you put on the list?

A new challenge: How's about having to record a cover version of the past ten winning Eurovision songs? or maybe just sitting through the songs is punishment enough!

Mike Chalmers said...

I'll leave that for the musicians Timbo - Challenge McKenna!!

Chicago is also the only one I haven't seen.

You could review the top 10 albums of the noughties. Here is a list of the top 100 apparently:
