Sit down, turn off the lights, and take our movie watching challenge for your IRLAs

You like movies.

You love movies.

You want to see more movies.

Part of any movie challenge is putting the time aside to watch films, but the greatest challenge may be, well, what are you supposed to watch? A century of motion pictures is a lot of stories at 90-120 minutes each, give or take -- and that's not counting films made outside the U.S. and/or films shot in a language other than English. They can't all be masterpieces, right?

The best movie watching challenges push you to explore, to discover something unusual, to watch what you might not have chosen for yourself but which changes your life all the same. From horror movie challenges to Disney movie challenges, your movie marathon should engage you with the best films and drive you to hone your tastes even sharper. Life's too short to watch bad movies.

Become a more frequent moviegoer and a more critical movie watcher. Our IRLA Movie Watching challenge medals are your personal film school!
