My Favourite Movies Entry created on 2022-04-03 (edited 2022-07-24) Authors: steeph (367) Categories: Films (22) Languages used: en (254) Topics: Films (15) edit

I've been meaning to put together this list for years but never took the time to do it properly. I'm not taking that time right now, either. But I'm starting with a few titles and am hoping that I'll find the time to fill this list peace by piece over the next weekscenturies.

These aren't really my favourite movies and shows. It would be nearly impossible to compile such a list. Some of them I enjoyed very much, some of them probably are among my favourites, but some I'd just like to share because I think more people should be aware of them.

I've removed the incomplete tag now because I can't think of any other titles I want to put onm here. But it can never be considered complete. I will likely edit it in the future.
