Movies
I stopped watching movies in the theater many years ago, and essentially
stopped watching movies even at home around 2000 or even earlier. I'll
still watch some old favorites from time to time. I don't miss movies one
bit. Here's a list I made long ago of my favorites at the time. I
left out a few such as Spinal Tap.
Favorite Movies
No particular order. Grouped by director when there's more than
one film by a single director. My current favorite film of all is
