As the tagline for the comedy Friendship says: “Men shouldn’t have friends”. Prove ‘em wrong with this Showdown! Turns out, the cure to male loneliness is coming up with a list of ten of your favourite movies about guys being buds. These amigos can range from superbad boys to GoodFellas—either way, they’re hitting the mean streets in search of excellent adventures together. So have another round Goonies, outsiders and other guys, and never stop never stopping! For inspiration in selecting your midnight cowboys on their midnight runs.

In joyous celebration of Akira Kurosawa’s King Lear re-imagining, Ran, re-releasing in select US and Canadian theatres for its 40th anniversary, this week’s Showdown is straight-up Shakespearean. To thine own self be true as you pen a list of your ten favourite adaptations of the Bard’s plays—be they contemporary teen rom-coms or period-accurate costume dramas. All the world may be a stage, but no pro-shot theatre, please (with apologies to National Theatre Live). This means that Ethan Hawke’s Hamlet is eligible, but Andrew Scott’s isn’t. Alack!

Welcome to the first annual Thank You for the Good Times challenge.

I thought it would be a nice idea to honour some of the people who ed away in 2024. They had spent their time working on making movies for us to enjoy, so let's enjoy them! I've picked 35 individuals who all had a fairly large filmography to choose from. I'm sure I have missed many beloved people off the list but sadly I couldn't include everyone.

PROGRESS: 14/35

Rules:

1. Watch a film that each person has worked on, in any capacity (actor, director, composer, producer etc)
2. Rewatches, shorts, anything is allowed.
3. Challenge runs from Jan 1st - Dec 31st 2025.
4. Use the tag #tyftgt2025 on your lists and reviews.
