100 Films in a Year Challenge 2023: Final Standing

As the challenge tracker page will soon be replaced with a version keeping tabs on 2024’s effort, here’s an archive of how it looked at the very end of 2023.

Sadly, it’s incomplete, for the second year running — you can see where I fell short in red below. Some of those lengthy Blindspot films were always going to prove a challenge, and in the end they were one I didn’t surmount in time; and I kept thinking I’d do some kind of giallo marathon, but never quite got round to it.

Oh well. Maybe I’ll finally get all the way to 100 in 2024…


On this page, I’ll track my progress with The 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2023. Learn more about the challenge here.
