Due to me having a hell of a lot of films to watch, i felt it would be necessary to write them down and tick them off. I always get recomended new films to watch that i would never be able to remember off the top of my head, so i just add them to the list. There are many classics that i havent seen, many that i havent heard of, but also many from directors that I would like to explore more.
