TO WATCH
This is a list of films I'd like you to watch. Some of these will blow your mind or lift your spirit; some are more like a pleasant though uneventful walk through the forest; others will do psychic damage so terrific your great-grandchildren will need counselling. You're welcome. Some of these I love and others I feel are just terrible. I think all of them help us understand who and where we are, what we're up to and where we need to go...
