Hello and welcome to The May 2023 Challenge: Silver Screen Edition!

The typical parameters apply; play a record that suits the prompt and try not to repeat.

As for the prompts; I have chosen a quote or exchange from a favorite movie of mine, you can either interpret the quote however you wish or follow one of the more specific prompts that follow. No pressure!

These aren't in order, and aren't necessarily my top 31 movies. In fact, if I run another challenge in 2024 I could easily find another 30 movies to list...my wife already pointed out a glaring omission. So yeah, this was tough!

One more thing, I'll do a drawing for two $20 Bandcamp giftcards at the end. Just post ONCE and you're in!

Get your popcorn and enjoy the show!
