I think this is the first list of these I've done where I don't have a clear sense of the what "favorites" will be just yet. I usually have a decent idea of the top five but I think this one might be a bit more muddled throughout with a handful of stinkers at the bottom.
Moops?

With this project, every time I think I've found my #30, I find a new #30. And every time I think I've found my #1, I find a new #1. It's bizarre, and it's keeping things VERY interesting.

Has Biopics ever been suggested for a project? Here's a long-list I very quickly came up with and I'm sure there are many more notable ones that could be thrown out. Definitely seems like a topic that could warrant at least two lists. (some of these were probably done on other lists before... I left off ones I knew for sure were like Goodfellas and Remember the Titans)

12 Years a Slave
127 Hours
Air
Ali
Amadeus
The Aviator
A Beautiful Mind
Blonde
Bohemian Rhapsody
Braveheart
Capote
Catch Me if You Can
Ed Wood
Elvis
Erin Brockovich
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile
Gandhi
Green Book
Hacksaw Ridge
Invictus
JFK
Julie & Julia
La Bamba
Lawrence of Arabia
Lincoln
Malcolm X
Man on the Moon
Milk
Moneyball
The Motorcycle Diaries
Napoleon
Oppenheimer
Patch Adams
The Pianist
Raging Bull
Ray
Rocketman
Schindler's List
The Social Network
Soul Surfer

Biopics has been discussed but never made into a proper list.

I think that it could maybe be broken down though? Like we could easily do a list of just musician biopics and still have extras left over

There's also:

I think there also might be a little overlap with the War list that's planned upcoming but I'm not sure what's on that offhand

19/30

My number 2 was number 1 from like the fourth movie I watched until the 23rd, but my 30th was fluctuating like crazy. There was one I was like "oh yeah this is number thirty" and then the very next movie I watched beat it. Then another one like two after that, and then yet another one right after that.

Looking at what I have left, there is really only one I think can compete for that bottom spot.

Oh and 24/30 now.

Yes. But I'm working all day that day and seeing A Christmas Carol that night, so anything received will be sitting in my inbox until the next day anyway, so the extension comes with one more day.

Whenever I do these projects, I like to hit up the used bluray/DVD stores in my area to get all those movies missing from the streaming platforms I have. I can get them for like $2-3 usually and its a nice memento of the project.

I still cannot find Road Trip. I've been to eight different locations now over the past three months and NOTHING. I'm not convinced this movie was ever truly manufactured.

That's bizarre because I feel like it's the kind of movie I used to just see everywhere in like bargain bins

Same. If I had to guess which one wouldve been the hardest to find, Road Trip would not have been in my first ten guesses.

Sideways was the second hardest and thats another one I have a distinct memory of seeing everywhere for a while.

I assume the scarcity is due to people setting fire to the DVD after watching it the first time

Come to think of it, just the other day I saw a Facebook Marketplace listing with a bunch of DVDs, mostly action and comedy from the 2000s, and Road Trip was definitely on there.

The hardest for me to find through any legal channel (physical or digital, purchase or rental) was Cannonball Run

This. It's weird that Cannonball Run 2 was more readily available.
Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting.

I'm planning to put the topic up sometime between 12 and 1 pm Eastern tomorrow unless anyone thinks they need the afternoon to watch one last film, in which case please tell me now. If at that point you aren't done with your write-ups, I would rather you send me what you have and just get the rest to me within the next couple days than do another extension just for write-ups.

#30 will be posted tomorrow night. 29 will be posted Monday morning and 28 will be Monday night. After that it'll be one film a day for a while.

I noticed that the message is clipped because it is too long, but at least on my end you can click at the very bottom to "read entire message" and the whole ranking pops up that way. Let me know if you'd prefer I send this as a Word document.
