FILMS

Over the Christmas 2012 period I decided that it was no good going through life continually thinking that I ought to have, or wished that I had, watched such and such a film. It was time for me to actually make a bit of an effort. So, I decided to make a conscious effort to try to watch more films and, to help with this, I thought I would keep a simple list to indicate what I had watch, similar to the Reading List that I have been keeping since 2002. Here it is:
