Movies are like windows
Reflective and insightful
cineast
Most of us don't watch movies consciously.
This is a quote from Roger Ebert and I can only endorse that. Especially at a time when everything can be reached at the touch of a finger and the average plagues the masses.
That’s why I’d like to show on my blog a page of movies that probably aren’t known to everyone or would seem too obscure from the outside. I will gradually fill this page with recommendations: Have fun browsing!
Alternatively you can also check my IMDB. In it, I also created recommendation lists.
