Things to Watch
Table of Contents
a companion to my actual watchlist.
note: I am easily swayed and motivated by the opinions of my friends, so I would love to hear from you if you have strong opinions on something here, or have a strong recommendation not included.
to do: reorganize this page to categorize movies by mood/vibe, so I have an easier time picking something
