Designed initially so I could keep track of what films I wanted to watch and then, having watched, could be ticked off the list.

Of course, I've seen many many films not included on the list since, but these are the ones what have been included - for one reason or another - on Ze List.

Anyway, here it is (to date) and, well, Me anyway at least, finds it amusing.

It has convinced me never to live in the countryside.

It seems to make people very grumpy.

Also, never to knock holes in my wall.

It was reminiscent of Stigma.

In some ways.

But not in others.
