The challenge this time is to post reviews relating to birthdays or for films of actors, writers or directors born on your birthday. I was already planning to have the first option, but Chris C's thread inspired me to expand it. As everyone has numerous reviews in the second category, please limit yourself to at most ten in each.
Please post a specific link to each review using whatever domain you like and give clear spoiler warnings where appropriate. You may post existing reviews, but are particularly encouraged to write new ones fitting the requirement. Here are some films to start with.
Please do not post just to say that you have viewed and/or voted (which can be taken on trust). If you still really want to mention it (or you just want to for its own sake), you are very welcome to highlight specific reviews � that's a lot more interesting for everyone.
Like all challenges, this will be completely open-ended, due to the variable speed of approvals and the fact that inspiration does not come at will. Good luck!
Other challenges:
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 1: alliteration
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 2: puns on film titles
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 3: turn a phrase
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 4: The Man Who Knew Infinity
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 5: uniqueness
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 6: lengthiness
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 7: matching reviews
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 8: find the hidden message
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 9: going for a song
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 10: responses
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 11: rhyme
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 12: anagrams
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 13: four-letter film reviews
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 14: weddings
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 15: zeugma
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 16: Bushwhacking/Baracking
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 17: F.W.F.R. and Benj
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 18: connected reviews
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 19: title play
F.W.F.R.ers' challenge 20: oldest reviews
If anyone has any other ideas for challenges, please let me know. I've got a few pending, but it's always good to have new ideas. |

Sure, but the new submissions aren't supposed to be on top of already exceeding the suggested maximum!  |
