Jimbo Crowley Presents:
MINGO 2018
Welcome to MINGO! The only true movie bingo challenge for the modern day! Join us, here, in an (extremely) humble celebration of the movies we love.
What makes a MINGO movie? It's simple: these are movies we haven't seen in a while, and would like to experience anew. This list has been painstakingly selected to provide a diversity of content to all participants--including myself. And yet, all these films have one thing in commmon: Someone remembers them fondly. And with any luck, you'll remember them fondly as well! And so begins...
MINGO 2018
RULES
MINGO is a game of champions, where only the strong survive. But while the challenge is grueling, the rules are simple, and there are many ways to play the game. Choose the MINGO that suits you and then prepare yourself as best you can!
Universal Rules
Achieve a Bingo by watching a full row of 4-5 movies(including diagonal).
The challenge must be completed in the month of May.
Classic
Choose any row of movies, then watch them in any order.
Supreme
Choose a row of four movies intersecting the free space,
but substitute a MINGO movie of your own in its place!
Free-Form
Choose any five movies, then watch them in any order.
The Forbidden MINGO
Choose TWO rows of movies and watch them all.
You can learn more about the list movies by browsing the Master List below. Each entry's title links to the movies' IMDB page. Use CTRL-F, or your browser's Search Page function, to find specific entries quickly.
Contestants will be expected to find the movies themselves, as most people seem to have a preferred streaming website already. If not, I recommend Putlocker (while running an adblocker of course). In the event you absolutley can't find a working stream, another list movie may be substituted (though this is generally frowned upon).
