March around the world challenge 2025

This challenge last year ignited my Letterboxd obsession, helped me discover some of my all-time favorite movies, and also spun me into a slightly concerning movie-a-day groove…I don’t know if I can complete it this time but I’ll certainly try!! Excited to at least get a few of these off my list.

The goal: watch 30 different movies from 30 different countries by the end of March. Only required country this year is Japan (preferably Studio Ghibli). Country for each film is in the list’s notes.
