The Letterboxd Criterion Challenge 2021 sounds like a lot of fun.
Jen and I are in, as are a few others so far.
Post in here if you'd like to take part in the weekly challenge. I'll keep this first post as a master list that I will update each week.
The rules are pretty simple and offer a lot of flexibility for those with less time, or less access to the collection...
There are 52 categories - one for each week. Watch any Criterion related film released on Laserdisc, VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, or on The Criterion Channel between 1/1/21-12/31/21. The films can be watched daily, weekly, or monthly, and in any order! I would like for all picks to be first time watches but will leave that up to you.
