However, I have a solution for these troubling times: the 100 Movies Bucket List poster.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may sound cheesy, but trust me, my roommates and I are proof that this poster works. Every night we gather around the TV and ask Siri to pick two numbers between 1 and 10, then we find the movie she has selected and we watch it. It\u2019s become a ritual, and it absolutely keeps us on our toes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a film and television major, I\u2019ve found that in a lot of my classes (especially production ones), professors are always referencing famous movies that I\u2019ve never seen. I always add these to a list in my brain so that I might later genuinely understand what they\u2019re talking about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After a while, though, that list in my brain gets fuzzy and I can\u2019t remember which iconic movies I\u2019m \u201csupposed to watch\u201d in order to fully grasp my film and television education. Then came this poster, and suddenly every movie that has been referenced in my classes is sitting on a poster, ready for me to watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re probably wondering, is it just a poster with movie titles? And the answer is no, it\u2019s so much more. Every movie has a gray box underneath, and after you watch the movie you grab a coin and you scratch away at the gray to reveal an image that represents the movie. My roommates and I play a game where before we scratch, we try to predict what the image will be. We\u2019re almost always wrong, but it\u2019s fun regardless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you\u2019re bored in quarantine, or simply want to elevate your film knowledge, I highly recommend this poster.
