20 movies you have to see but only if you want to so I guess you don’t have to see them – but you really should!

I dislike posts and articles that say “you have to” or “you must” and so on. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people online who appear to like being told what to do because such posts tend to do well as far as getting traffic goes.

For me, it goes against the grain. Hence, the headline you see above. Now, let’s move on to what this post is actually about …

I’ve decided to post over the next four weeks a list, including reviews, of 20 movies that I really love and have watched over and over. It will be a Monday to Friday thing, with one being posted each day.

I’m tentatively scheduled to start Monday, June 26th. (I thought of running it through all of August but decided it might be nice to have a few posted prior to that in case anyone wanted to track them down prior to the August long weekend.)

I won’t number these because I don’t have a sense of hierarchy about them, as in numbering them in terms of merit, number one being best. In fact, “best” will have nothing to do with what I post. These will simply be movies I really like. Sometimes, I like bad movies. (No, I don’t understand that either. But I’m not the only one that likes a bad movie now and again. I’ve argued before there is good rubbish and bad rubbish.)

One last thing … These twenty could easily be a completely different twenty a year from now. This is not an “all time favourites” list. It’s just an excuse to point out some good movies that have given me a great deal of pleasure.

You may not like them all but my guess is you’ll like most. Maybe even all them!
