Sometimes it’s fun to watch movies that happen on a certain date, like Christmas movies in Christmas or Back to the Future on October 25th. How about trying to make a list on movies that are happening on a specific date (doesn’t have to be the whole movie). Of course events like Christmas has hundreds of them so we can’t list them all. Let me know if you have something in mind and I’ll add to the list, can we make it to 366 films? Also if you have other movies with dates already reserved, feel free challenge the list! The goal is to have best movies for every date.
Only “rules” are that the date has to be mentioned or figured out in the movie for certain, not based on a script, novelization, fan fiction etc. If the movie happens on a course of few days, choose the date you’d watch it. We can also adjust the list if there already is a movie on that specific date, then we can choose another day if there is certainty (e.g. E.T.: we don’t know when he lands on Earth, there’s Halloween night in it but we already have the movie Halloween -> E.T. at least has the next day -> let’s put it Nov. 1st).
