Making a List (checking it twice)

My girlfriend and I are currently undertaking a cinematic journey.

I grew up loving movies. It’s a big part of my life. When I was a kid we had a big dresser full of vhs’s and almost every day I would open a drawer and pick a movie with zero context.

This led to me watching so AMAZING movies throughout my youth. Eventually that dresser got upgraded to a massive shelf of VHS and dvd’s that I worked my way through over the course of years.

My SO never really did that so I’m currently in the process of showing her some of the best movies I can think of. She’s definitely seen some great movies but she’s never heard of some all time classics.
