Ahead of the weekend and New Year’s Eve bustle. I suggest taking a breather and watching a great movie to clear your mind and reboot before a series of feasts, guests and squads.
This collection contains the most interesting films that have been considered by myself lately. The novelties are all looked at holes, so I propose a journey into the past. Then the films were more original, and the actors were younger, and the plots did not look hackneyed and re-shot thousands of times.
any choice and enjoy, you won’t be bored:
