ONGOING List- Movies I have purchased sometimes greatly happy with, others sorely disappointedly with. Mostly Horror/Thriller/Drama w/ some comedies sprinkled in.

by shmarie • Created 8 years ago • Modified 1 month ago
95% or more were purchased on iTunes, but a handful or two were DVD purchases that I still have on my person. Some of these movies I LOVE, some I took a chance on and were sorely disappointed. Please comment if you have time and tell me what you think of my list, if you agree or not (respectfully of course) and feel free to drop any suggestions of movies that you liked or think I would like. :).
