I first read about the 50 film challenge on Live Journal, where upon I decided to take up the challenge myself. A simple task of watching 50 films from the beginning of the year to the end. Since starting, to make it a little more interesting for me, I have imposed a "first time viewing" rule for the films that can be added to the list. So the more observant amongst you will have spotted the "agains", these will have to be replaced. However it's up to you how hard you want to make yours.
If you're up for it and wish to take part, just use the Full Submission Form with your name and the start of a list, then you can send films as you watch them via the Single Film Form and your list will be kept it up to date and you can compare with the others.

| Title: | Comments: | /10 | |
| 1. | Stormbreaker | Kids film, like a mini Bond action/adventure, surprisingly entertaining | |
| 2. | Ghost Town | The new Ricky Gervais film – to be honest I thought this was going to be embarrassing but it was very funny in parts | |

| 4. | Mama Mia |
Definitely a feel good chic flick – and the singing wasn’t that bad at all | |
| 5. | James Bond - Quantum of Solace | Lacking in plot, but still very good. Casino Royale better | 8 |
