User:4meter4/Movies

I'm an avid movie watcher and I have a large DVD collection. Friends and family are always asking to borrow things from my video library or wanting recomendations. So, I've finally decided to put together a list of favorites. By favorites, I mean I actually will pull them off the shelf and re-watch them. There are many amazing films out there that I would never want to watch again, largely because they are too emotionally taxing, and I am going to make a seperate list for those. I am organizing them roughly by genre and alphabatized. Note, certain films could arguably be placed in more than one area but I am listing each film only once.4meter4 (talk) 03:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
