film reel

Movies I’ve watched and want to watch. I liked, were just ok, I didn’t like, I didn’t finish.

Naturally, this isn’t comprehensive, and it’s biased toward my taste. If I mark a movie , I may still think it’s good overall, but just doesn’t match my own personal taste, and vice versa.

Also see books, games, and other lists.
