BBluesman Film File
By: Mark Forman
These are some of the films that truly riveted me or took to me to some other place very special. Usually, they left me feeling uncertain after seeing them on how I felt but very clear and elated the following day after I woke up and the impressions had time to filter through my unconscious REM fueled sleep. These are in no particular order and of course are not comprehensive.
