WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
So I maintain lists of films I want to see, what of it? And so I collect films from those lists that I then folder up and make additional lists prioritising what I will most likely watch, what of it again?
Anyway, help me refine things further by letting me know which are the really unmissable ones, and which ones I really can do without seeing. And whats' on YOUR list(s)?
Currently in my primary list:
