Movies That I'd Like to See
So many movies, so little time. There are a lot of things that I'd love to see, but I just hate watching them on a dinky little TV, and there are too many distractions at home to sit through a whole movie. I now keep this list in my Netflix queue, so this list is abandonned and aging.
Here's something new. I'd like to make a coupla film festival trips. Nothing to do but see movies all day and night? Brilliant! Unfortunately, the big ones are swamped with celebrities and the people flock to see them. I need to do some more research to find some more obscure festivals.
