    Where I compulsively screenshot every beautiful frame of a movie, organise them in some fashion, and try to write coherently about what it all means. It’s special stuff, I promise you.

    The List of Shame
    
    A challenge first seen on Returning Videotapes, where you can confess all your cinematic sins of omission. The goal is to create a list of classic and cult movies you know you should’ve watched by now, but can’t seem to tackle – and let the whole world know about it. I mean, have you *really* seen Gone With The Wind?
