Hello & thanks for dropping by! This site is a log of the films I have watched. It will be updated each time I have watched a film on tv, dvd or at the cinema.
I'm a bit of a film geek and i've always taken great enjoyment watching them ever since I was a wee boy.
As I have already seen hundreds, if not thousands of films already, I won't backlog the ones I have seen as it would take up far too much time.
