I got this scratch poster as a Secret Santa gift, so for a new years resolution I'm going to watch these 100 Cult films in 2020.
I've seen quite a few of them before (48ish I think), but for completion sake I'm going to rewatch what I've already seen.

Naturally I created a spread sheet to track my progress, and searched for all of them on Netflix.
14 are on Netflix and 3 I own on DVD, and then I'll have to start looking elsewhere!
I'm prepared to host movie nights to make this happen!
