Stuff I’ve Read, Watched, Done #13 – October 12, 2020

School holidays is almost over. Will that change my viewing habits? We’ll find out soon enough, but for now there’s still a steady stream of movie-viewing to facilitate moments of family togetherness!

101 Movies That I Love the Most – Part Two [75-51]

So lately I made a Youtube video, for the first time (I’ve made films before, and put them on Youtube, but I never made a video specifically to just say stuff on Youtube) in which I share my 101 Films That I Love the Most. You can see the video and read all about it here.
