A BIG LONG LIST OF THE FILMS I WATCHED THIS YEAR....
By: kuxa kanema
This list may end up very very long….
I have had a wonderful year for watching films this year, and have really dedicated myself to watching cinema. Not only did I discover the Auteurs/Mubi, but through the site I learnt of Youtube films, SMZ and Karagarga. My to watch list is bigger than when I started.
