Love them or hate them, here’s a list of movies. It’s not a good list, or a bad list, just a list.
Some have won awards and become classics. Others have been largely forgotten.
Some we watched on the recommendation of friends. Others we had to see for class. Still others just happened to be playing at a one-screen cinema.
Some we like and can recommend. Others we find boring and annoying.
However, our taste might not be the same as yours.
(Some related films and listed as a group. Consider seeing these as double or triple features, or with a festival pass.)
