Hey everyone! This is a slight rehashing of last year’s list that I couldn’t finish. This last year has been pretty tough on me but I really miss spending my time with film as much as I have before and I want to return to doing this every year as I used to. Graduation is coming around and I know the finish line is eminent. I’m gonna make time for myself to return to my original passion that drove me before law took over my life and stripped away my ability to be able to enjoy discovering new films as often as I wish I could.

A bit of a forewarning, I’ve only seen two of the following films prior to making this list (Frankenweenie, Gremlins, and Bliss). And I was a bit loose with two of my choices in order to tailor to my pre-existing desire to watch some films.
And so we begin!
