Highly recommended movies or tv

by bcrewe-1 | created - 07 Jan 2011 | updated - 13 Jan 2013 | Public

Ok so I am going to tell you a bit about my-self, I am a 28 year old guy from Vancouver who last may has had a pretty major Stroke. With it, I lost the use of my whole right side, And being right handed, its been pretty frustrating to say the least. Iv turned to movies as a tool to help fill the ridiculous amount of time at least until I gain some of my skills back. On a lighter note, I am getting better,they tell me that 5 years from now this will be nothing but a bad memory. Its yet to be scene:)So this is just a list of some of my favorite movies & TV shows, im going to try and do a description of each movie I list, but just note, im not a critic, im not trying to sell you on any thing, these are just my opinions, nothing more. Please comment on it, or if you have any recommendations for me. Hope you enjoy it.....
