Benelux Challenge


Watch as many Benelux movies as you can from July 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019.
Eligible Countries
- Belgium
- Netherlands
- Luxembourg
Rules
- Each feature film (over 40 minutes) counts as one entry.
- 60 minutes of short films counts as one entry.
- 120 minutes of TV episodes counts as one entry.
- 1 episode of any miniseries counts as one entry.
- Rewatches are allowed and are good for the soul.
- Please include year of release when listing your viewings.
- Please indicate each film's country when listing your viewings. If you don't do this, I won't include you in the tally.
Fair play (adapted from albajos)
- Remember this is a community event, so participating is not only about listing titles. If you post early, this gives the other participants suggestions for their own viewings and it brings the community closer together.
- If you're in the top 5 please post at least once every three days.
- I will not allow anyone to enter the top 5 on the final day with their first post.
I reserve the right to exclude participants who intentionally number their viewings incorrectly. If you play the game, you're expected to play properly.
DEADLINE
Final results will be posted between 2:30pm and 3:00pm GMT on August 2 - at which point it will have been August everywhere in the world for more than a whole day. While you are welcome to post updates beyond this point, any such updates will not be included in the final results. Your choice whether you miss the deadline or not; besides, if it's August on your side of the world, shouldn't you be starting on one of next month's challenges, mm?

This Challenge has been run twice before in an Official capacity - though in conjunction with a Nordic Challenge on both occasions. This is our first solo Benelux Official Challenge.
2016 Challenge - hosted by 3eyes and won by PeacefulAnarchy with 36 points

This thread will be updated at least once a day (more often if I am around and feel like it). Since I am updating manually, I would appreciate it if you list new films seen in a new post. Happy
