Please help me pick films and shows to watch.

- you can vote for however many movies you want
- each time, you vote for a movie, it will get 1 point.
- you can also vote against a movie. In this case, it will get -1 point.
- I'm open to recommendations not on this list.


This list's rules are adapted from johanlefourbe's list my queue.

Thanks for any recommendations. I made a list of the Films and TV Series recommended to me that I've watched.


I add what I see to my Film Log or TV journal, and sometimes a list on my favorite things list.

Also:

Breaking Bad (TV is so good these days one could easily add The Wire, Deadwood, and Breaking Bad [so far] to any list of great "films" like Berlin Alexanderplatz and Fanny and Alexander]
