April 2008 Numerical Marathon

[Rich]

As per discussions in the marathon brainstorming thread, April will be 'NUMERICAL MARATHON' month

Watch as many titles with different numbers, either at the beginning or within the titles, concurrently as possible.
In addition, an episode number from a series can count for missing numbers, so keeps the marathon pretty fluid.
From Tom, it is also allowed to count the title's length for the numbers, example 'no country for old men' could be used to fill the 18 slot.

Volume of marathon dependent on user.

Example;

1 good cop
2 weeks notice
3 amigos
4 defcon4
5 children and it
6 hamlet (6 letters)
7 friends s1 episode 7
etc
etc

All marathon lists should follow in this thread, so book your place and start planning - it begins tomorrow

Unwatched items are subject to change.

A marathon has 26 miles; but maybe I can manage more...

I am again adjusting my rating (following I-forgot-who's example) in order to have a few more choices available:
  = Excellent
  = now that was quite good
  = I enjoyed it
  = not really bad, but not good either
  = boring
  = bad or worse

Triangle

   aren't we stretching the rules a little here ?

 

[Achim]

Triangle

   aren't we stretching the rules a little here ?

 

Well, I could still switch it with "Three... Extremes 2", if you insist, but I figured a Triangle has 3 corners, so that should count for something, right?

Haha, there I was expecting to get called out for "Season 2, Episode 1"...

I will use the same rating system as Achim:
  = Excellent
  = now that was quite good
  = I enjoyed it
  = not really bad, but not good either
  = boring
  = bad or worse

[Tom]

FYI: I will also count the spaces in my titles. This way I can use the following filter in my CCViewer:

SELECT p.ProfileID, p.Title, p.ColNo, p.SortTitle, p.Originaltitle, p.OriginalSortTitle, p.Description FROM Profiles p WHERE len(p.Title) = $Length$ or len(p.OriginalTitle) = $Length$

[Rick]

I'm in (and I'm stealing Achim's formatting as well as his rating scale  )

  = Excellent
  = now that was quite good
  = I enjoyed it
  = not really bad, but not good either
  = boring
  = bad or worse

Can I make it a half marathon and "sign up" for 15 movies only ?  I know I won't be able to watch 30.

Watch as many titles with different numbers, either at the beginning or within the titles, concurrently as possible.

Therefore you can watch as many as you'd like

[Touti]

Count me in then.  I'll get started on my list now.

Well, I guess that makes you "I-forgot-who", as mentioned in my explanation
