MORE FILMS
As you can tell, there is an eclectic group of films I have listed here. Everything from the charming Dumbo to the powerful, but depressing Pixote, from the musical The King and I to the action film Rush Hour, and from the classic screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby to the newer screwball comedy Overboard. Again, I like films that tend to entertain me and evoke some kind of emotional response. This list is in chronological order.
