Week 1

Oldest movie on your watchlist

This week's movie challenge is the brainchild of Cinechum Dave Rackliff. Your challenge: watch the oldest movie in your watchlist. And no, not the one that's been chilling there for eons, but the film that rocked the screens way back when.

Like time-traveling through movie history, Dave's got us on a quest to check out the pioneers, the OGs of moviemaking. Who knows what gems we might stumble upon? I bet there's some black-and-white magic waiting to be rediscovered, tales that laid the groundwork for the blockbusters we binge today.

So here's to Dave's challenge – an invitation to shake up our viewing routine and soak in the vibes of yesteryears filmmaking. It's not just about watching a movie, it's about unearthing a slice of cinematic history!
