Movies the giraffe watched in 2019: June (31 movies items)

"Re-watch - June 9th It's been so long since I last watched F/X that this almost felt like a first viewing. But there were elements I'd recalled which reinforced the fact that it wasn't. I really dig the story here, and enjoyed spending time with these characters. It's not great but it's good and I'd watch it again some time (maybe less than 20-ish years even, hehe)."
