36. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
37. Space Jam (1996)

Two of these movies were rewatches, and I saw six films in the theater. Twenty six of them were in English, five in Japanese, two in Spanish, one in Chinese, one in French, one in Hindi, one in Russian, and one in Turkish.
My top five favorites of the bunch in no particular order; The Florida Project, The Birdcage, Drugstore Cowboy, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, and Crash. My least favorite was Dr. No due to the racism.
Overall the challenge was enjoyable and I plan to repeat a movie month again soon but with a theme next time, possibly leaning towards a whole month of Italian giallo films during October.
