Random Thoughts

I am trying to become a bit more organised in the way that I do this thing. I know that what I have done for the last month and a bit is to randomly pick a DVD or a movie to watch, but I think that I am going to have to develop more of a system. Most of the movies that I have viewed seem to have been made in the 1950s, while I haven’t watched too many films made since the 1970s. If I really want to eventually compare films from different eras I need to have to watch a broader range of films to have any credibility. I do have a list of some films that I really want to watch, and I will list them here, but I may not get around to watching any of these until December so please bear with me.
