Additions welcome — 2 years ago

Additions and suggestions are welcome. However, please limit adds to worthy film selections. The movies don’t have to be great, just generally well-recieved, reccomended and/or historically important. Try to keep the crap away, unless of course if its essential crap. Thanks.
