As 2026 looms, here’s a record of how the challenge tracker page for 2025 looked at the end of the year — in a word: complete.

That makes this the second year in a row I’ve achieved my goal, after two years of failing to do so. Frankly, the most surprising thing about this is that I’m entering the fifth year of my new-style challenge — it still feels like I’ve only recently switched over. It was during the fifth year of the original challenge that I began the move to WordPress, the blog’s fourth home. It felt like I’d been doing this for so long at the time, but with hindsight, I was just getting started. Funny old thing, time, isn’t it?

Anyway, before I digress too far, here’s that list. As ever, more about all this in the days to come.

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