At the Movies

The list comes from Sheila. As she did, I’m changing the rules a bit, mostly because I have no idea how to create red text on this here blog.

THE RULES

Bold movies you have watched and liked.
Turn BOLD ALL CAPS movies you have watched and loved.
Italicize movies you saw and didn’t like.
