+ One Hundred Films

I use to love watching films growing up. By the age of sixteen, I saw all the films I ever wanted to see. I would go to the library and check out a few films and diligently watch them all that very same day. When I say I’ve seen them all, I almost truly mean it. And to this day my favorite directors are Eisenstein & Buñuel. Once I went to uni, I stopped the habit, but been meaning to get back. This is that attempt. I’m setting myself a challenge to see a hundred before this year ends. Recommend me ANY movie in my ask box! Chances are I’ve seen it (if it’s a film prior to 1970s that is), but it doesn’t hurt! (: Will be updated frequently.
