Sports Cinema Challenge 2027
<p>The thrill of victory! The agony of defeat! Welcome to the wide world of sports cinema!</p><p>Since there was a decent reception for this challenge the first time around, I've decided to bring it back with some tweaks based on feedback from last year's participants. So, I hope you'll join me on a year long challenge, <b>January 1 - December 31, 2027</b>, to explore sport on film. </p><p>The goal, based on many great challenges that have come before, is to watch sports-related films, shorts, documentaries, or even limited series, based on the prompts below. It is hoped that participants try to choose films that actually use sports as a plot point, rather than just as a character description. You can watch them in any order, at any pace, and rewatches are allowed.</p><p>For the 2027 challenge, I've decided on a tiered approach for completion, based on Olympic medals:<br /><b>🥇 - Watch 48 films - One from each category*<br />🥈 - Watch 24 films - Choose from the available categories*<br />🥉 - Watch 12 films - Choose from the available categories*</b><br /><i>*If you want to do another Wildcard in place of a numbered category, feel free. <br />Just try not to watch 12 baseball movies! Spread the love around.</i></p><p>In the Notes for this list I have added some clarifications and helpful links to lists compiled by members of the Letterboxd community for each category. Let me know about any dead links!</p><p>Or you can peruse this massive list to get some ideas!<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/9b74y" rel="nofollow"><b>Sports – by tarokhnstuff</b></a></p><p>If you decide to take up the challenge, comment with a link to your list and tag your reviews with <b>sportscinema27</b> or <b>scc27</b> so we can all keep track of what you’re watching.<br />Let the games begin!</p><p><b>Competitors</b><br />🏒<a href="https://boxd.it/Xf3cQ" rel="nofollow"><b>Xellence</b></a>⚾<a href="https://boxd.it/Ym0w2" rel="nofollow"><b>Dsoti</b></a>🏀<a href="https://boxd.it/YmytG" rel="nofollow"><b>abystopia</b></a>⚽︎<a href="https://boxd.it/YmXXG" rel="nofollow"><b>Pedro Almeida</b></a>🏈<a href="https://boxd.it/YmXBU" rel="nofollow"><b>Nick Atkins</b></a>🥎<a href="https://boxd.it/Ync5k" rel="nofollow"><b>concur</b></a>🥊<a href="https://boxd.it/YmlMK" rel="nofollow"><b>JP 🏴🇺🇸</b></a>👟<a href="https://letterboxd.com/irinaz/list/sports-cinema-challenge-2027/share/L4L2CG5usCgoSNXH/" rel="nofollow"><b>Irina Z</b></a>⛳<a href="https://boxd.it/YoTbC" rel="nofollow"><b>Danny From the Bay</b></a>☀️<a href="https://boxd.it/Yqoja" rel="nofollow"><b>Sizz</b></a>❄️<a href="https://boxd.it/YybKe" rel="nofollow"><b>Athena 🦇</b></a>🏎️<a href="https://boxd.it/YyCMw" rel="nofollow"><b>Alex</b></a>🏍️</p><p><b><i>Categories</i></b>*<br /><i>*There's bound be a lot of overlap in categories so make them fit where it suits you.</i></p><p>1.

CONDEMNED!! Films Rated Morally Offensive by the Catholic Church
<p>A comprehensive, alphabetical list of films released in the United States that were condemned by the Catholic Church during two decades beginning November 1, 2003, when the modern system of ratings was established. The ratings were based upon reviews by the Catholic News Service and the former Office for Film and Broadcasting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. </p><p>The accompanying NOTES explain why each film has been rated "O" -- morally offensive -- which combines the previous two ratings: B, which stood for "morally objectionable in part for all," and C, "condemned."</p><p>FINAL UPDATE: In July 2022, the Catholic News Service suspended film reviews. The organization was replaced by OSV News, a national and international wire service reporting on Catholic issues and issues that affect Catholics. The ratings system and archive of reviews were not retained, so this list is now officially complete. Moving forward, films that would have been condemned are now rated "U" - <i>unsuitable for all</i> or "O" - <i>morally offensive</i>. A more extensive and updated list of films that "will send you to hell" can be found <a href="https://boxd.it/sBcny/detail" rel="nofollow">here</a> courtesy of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/reverendray/" rel="nofollow">Rev</a>.</p><p><b>Source:</b><br /><a href="https://www.catholicnews.com/category/reviews/" rel="nofollow">www.catholicnews.com/category/reviews/</a><br /><i>(This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or otherwise distributed, except by linking to a page on <a href="http://www.catholicnews.com/" rel="nofollow">OSV News</a>.)</i></p>

a comprehensive guide to ROMANTIC COMEDIES.
<p>The ultimate romantic comedy list (for better or for worse). Drop a comment for movies to be added. <b>LAST UPDATED:</b> 10/13/24</p><p><b>NOTES FROM THE CURATOR:</b> <i>Please read before commenting.</i></p><blockquote><p>- There's a big gap in small/indie, non-American, & LGBTQ+ rom-coms, so I would love to see more of those suggested.<br />- Films have been gathered from a variety of lists and suggestions, but I've only personally seen ~30% of the films on the list. If something feels like it doesn't fit, or something is missing from the list, you can tell me that in a kind way. I'm but one woman, and I made this list for fun (and for free).<br />- If you suggest a movie that was remade or has a common title, please include a director, a year, or a link (IMDb, Wiki, Letterboxd, whatevs) so I know which one to add.<br />- The list is in alphabetical order. It's a "ranked list" to benefit those who use random number generators to pick a film. I am not ranking any film above any other film, and rude comments about a film's position on the list will be deleted. Hope that helps. ❤️</p></blockquote>
<p>From the slapstick cinema, to the psychedelic, insane, awful cinema,<br />These are the films i think would be perfect to smoke to, I've had some amazing experiences laughing and tripping my ass off watching these flicks, so i hope you do too.</p><p><em>" Our bees make honey, but your flies make shit" </em></p>

<p>[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill]<i> "They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom. I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school." - Ferris Bueller in</i> <a href="http://letterboxd.com/film/ferris-buellers-day-off/" rel="nofollow">Ferris Bueller's Day Off</a></p><p><i>"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But, we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.

I can never get enough of these films. A lot of these movies are my guilty pleasures. I would not necessarily admit to liking some of these movies in public, but I can relate to many of the characters and there is a bit of nostalgia in a lot of these films that take me back to my younger days, when life was simple (at times). There is also a connection that I established with many of these movies to periods in my life, which also enrich my viewing experience. I hope you enjoy and make the most of of this list, even if you only find one or two movies on here that you never saw and find it worth a watch. This list is in no particular order.</p>
