Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Litmus Test Movies Or How To Know If Were Gonna Be Friends

Saw a great question come across twitter:

@kerrizor - Do you have films that are litmus tests for you?

Super fun! I went through my list to pick out a few... Ended up being more than a few.

So, here's my test. If you don't dig, say, 50% of these that you've seen, I wonder if we'd get along.

(Caveat: This list is based off when I saw the films. I haven't seen most of in years. Lots probably don't hold up and I'm sure some have become problematic.)
