Movies to Watch
Often I’m left out of the loop when people are talking about movies or quoting movies because I don’t like to pay the high movie theater prices and then forget to rent them when they come out on DVD, so I had a friend of mine, a movie buff come up with a list of movies I have to see because they’re good or they’re landmark films. So I’m going to post the list after the break and tell me if you think any movies are not worth watching and absolutely any that should be added
Here is his initial list of 65 a few of which I have seen, and noted
