My favourite films.

by rajmund1 | created - 18 Aug 2013 | updated - 9 months ago | Public

I recommend it to all movie lovers and novice movie watchers who like meaningful, high-quality movies that they will remember later and will gladly watch again. Similarly to books and compulsory reading, I think there are also must-see films, which you must see at least once and it would be a shame to miss them.
