You know I'm a real movie buff, right? Last year I took a course on the history of cinema from Right Hemisphere Introverts, made myself a list of important movies and now I follow it when I choose what to watch in the evening.
I've already watched a lot and I want to draw your attention to some pictures.
But by the way, would you be interested if I made a list of films that are must-see for me? And gave it to you? Write in the comments!
