I don’t really like to get earnest on this here website, or anywhere in life but I’ve watched a lot of great movies over the past few days and it really sucks that I can’t talk about them with people (or talk about them at people who very generously pretend to listen...)

Movies are the only thing keeping me sane right now so I’m just going to share a bunch that I love on this god forsaken website for the next little while, because I don’t really know what else to do right now.

1 prompt a day, 10 movies per prompt. I hope they can keep some other people somewhat sane as well, stay safe out there. (end of earnestness)

Anyways, 10 movies that make me happy:
ALL ABOUT EVE (1950)
BEFORE SUNSET (2004)
