first list...

in our relative world, everything is subject to interpretation..this is, of course, very true when it comes to movie watching and giving a personal review post. So, keep in mind that the list proffered here will be a collection of contributions from many sources with no authority assigned to any of them. If you add to the list please make a comment on the selection and provide a headline on what it means or meant to you and please do this on the current list of titles.
