This seems like fun. I'm gonna take part.

I don't know if anyone will pay attention to this, but I want to recommend some movies that some people may not have heard of let alone seen.

These are all great movies that I think people should seek out and give a chance to, who knows maybe they end up on someone else's list.

For You Consideration:

Come and See (1985)

Andrei Rublev (1966)

Also FYC, a film that was snubbed last time:

Yep!

This film is a masterpiece. It was so heartbreaking, I could barely breath when it was over.

Haven't seen The Pianist, AHX ain't all that, imo. Night of the Hunter is a masterpiece.
