Bonus Challenge - IMDb tags
Watch films with different IMDb tags. Some shows may deserve a tag that is not listed on IMDb, but we are only going by tags that are actually there. Feel free to submit a correction to IMDb to try and get a different tag added if you like.
You can only pick one tag per movie. If you watch The Godfather (1972) then you can choose either Crime or Drama, but not both.
You can only pick one tag per tv show, unless you watch complete seasons in which case you can choose a different tag for the next season. Example:
Barney Miller Season 1 (1975) - #Comedy
Barney Miller Season 2 (1976) - #Drama
