'Best Shot' Returns in One Month
Break out the bubbly because "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", a ton of fun all spring and summer, returns in early March for its sixth and final season. Films TBA but maybe you have suggestions...
If you're new to the blog or haven't yet experimented with actually participating, I guarantee a good time.
HOW TO PLAY?
- Watch the assigned movie over the weekend
- Post your single favorite shot from that movie any time on Tuesday (i.e. what you deem "best" for whatever reason) on your blog/tumblr/youtube/instagram/twitter/pinterest whatever and tell us why you chose it!
- Let us know you've done so and we link up

Reader Comments (55)
Steve: I'd expect Daredevil S1 or Jessica Jones for this before Agent Carter. More people have seen those, after all.
Another vote for "Thelma and Louise" and also one for "Death Becomes Her"
Oh "one" more thing. Any Xavier Dolan film.
I'd don't watch hard Rs so I'd love to keep it to as many films as I can participate in. I think Slumdog Millionaire, Song of the Sea, Snow White and 7 Dwarves, Ordinary People, Talk of the Town, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Quiet Man, Alien.
I didn't see the list of previously done on my phone for some reason. Ignore some of those suggestions.
