I’m a film buff slut (thanks James!) , I’ll watch anything! I watched the 1984 release of Repo Man last night from beginning to end before reviewing it. By the way Repo Man is a story involving repo men, car jacks, punks, aliens and the secret service, in summary, avoid it.
So, I’m putting my experience to the test in trying to check off the top 250 films listed by regular IMDb reviewers. Personally, I’m a little disappointed by the list so far, I feel many classic films have been missed and some B-grade films shown in their place. I sense my own list appearing soon…
