100 in 40

 My wife shared a post with me that was something along the lines of: If you were paid a million dollars to watch a movie 100 times in 40 days.

The internet all wants to do some bullshit and watch Kung Fury or something. "What's the shortest film you can pedantically argue is feature film?" is a different (and way less interesting) question.

To make it more fair/interesting, I proposed the following rules:

1. Minimum runtime over 60 minutes.

That seems like a safe baseline for "real movie" vs whatever bullshit short you pulled out of your ass.

2. Two out of the three below requirements

A. 90 minute runtime

B. Super majority must be devoted to a single, complete story.

C. Must have been officially released as a stand alone "feature film" or similar.

Which work together to ensure:

1. You don't just pick 2 or 3 episodes of your favorite TV show and somehow count them as a "movie" (but you could watch a pilot or something).

2. Aren't entirely beholden to major studios and can watch that indie Youtube movie if you want.

3. You can watch an anthology movie.

And you have to actually watch it and at least sort of pay attention. Not just run it in the background while you live your life, watch it at 10X speed, etc. You can get away with watching the PAL version though...

I would also say that, within limits, you can watch multiple versions of the same film, with a similar caveat:

Not counting translation, a super majority of the script, cast, and footage (honestly, just the footage would probably guarantee the other two) must be the same.

Any version must satisfy the base requirements above to count.

While it would cut down on the survive the tedium aspect, I think it's fun to let people watch a theatrical vs director's vs tv cut, etc.

And you could practice your Italian or whatever by watching it dubbed.

And, for all those reasons, I'm going to say Star Wars/ANH is my choice.

It's a movie I actually enjoy and, at just over two hours, it's not too hard to get in the 2-3 viewings a day.

Even counting only official releases, there's three or four major versions, and another dozen or so minor ones. Some of them suck, but you could watch them once just for variety or whatever. 

And then you get into the fan edits, many of which would still satisfy 1, 2A and 2B. 

And the various dubs, which number in the dozens officially (and, again, fan dubs).

You could get through it without rewatching the same version at all!

Probably I'd just stick to watching all the 1977s versions, the Special Edition, the newest bullshit edition, a few of the major fan editions, and then picking whichever one I liked best to rewatch, but mix up the language some. I feel like you gotta do Japanese, since it's so indebted to Kurosawa. I could work on my Spanish a bit. I'd probably do the Faces version at least once for nostalgia.

Ooh, the Cerveza Cristal release!
