Regular readers will know that I am a sucker for a good list. I have to complete things in sets, such as the 80 fibreglass owls that made up the Big Hoot back in 2015 or my quest around the Welsh Premier League grounds in 2011/12. This is not to mention my tour of the 6 OK Diners back in 2011 just so I could get a free Diet Coke for life and impress the ladies with 20% off my meals. Funny how this still hasn’t made any female drop their knickers…
This Christmas, my sister has given me another challenge that I intend on completing. She gave me a scratch poster of 100 Must See Cult Movies that are listed below for your information. I have seen many of them before, but because I am so picky and feel that lists should be given the respect they deserve, I will watch each and every one of these titles in 2021.
I am well aware that I do not complete all tasks that I set myself. For example, the look back at the 1983/84 football season failed to progress past September. That was due to boredom and frustration on my part, but I think that this challenge could be a good one that I will enjoy completing, especially if 2021 is full of lockdown restrictions.
One of the trickiest parts of this challenge will be trying to track down platforms that host each movie. Of course, I will be watching each movie in order, so if anyone could let me know where is best to view any of the first 10 then that would be great.
