Okay films
Films I saw, liked, but probably won't watch again too many times; some are very good but still missing something to be really loved, some are just amusing and forgettable; basically good films that couldn't make it to the 'greatest hits'.
My lists are made primarily for myself to keep track of all the things I watch. I left them public so you're free to see them if you like, but note that they are based totally on one person's opinion and are constantly 'under development'.
