a webpage about films...
This will eventually contain things. I used to be able to have time to watch 300+ movies a year, and I feel like listing things here. Because it's my website, and you're not the boss of me.
- Information on software I've written and use to maintain looking over several dozen film canons
- Personal recommendations
- Perhaps a database of all films I've ever seen, mostly as a convenience to myself
- Yeah… that's essentially it.
top 100 films...
But for now, here's something, a top 100 list I cooked up
