My Top 10 Favourite Movies of 2018 (10 movies items)

"Every other year brings a standout coming-of-age drama, and this is the first one I've seen with a gay protagonist. I can't speak for how significant it is to the LGBT community, but it successfully pulled me into Simon's mindset from start to finish. He makes some very dubious decisions that I don't condone, but neither does the movie – the morality is addressed – and we always understand the reason for his actions.

Movies I Watched in June 2021 (31 movies items)

" Date: 6/29/2021 Viewed: Amazon Prime (Rental) First Viewing Note: I always hear good things about Love, Simon for the past few years now, and June seems like the perfect time to watch it. I like this movie, but I didn't love it as most people did. I'm glad that Love, Simon exists because it was the first major LGBTQ+ movie made for teenagers that were created by a mainstream movie studio. Love, Simon has made a big impact on many people over the last few years. As someone who has come out a"
