Films I Like a Lot

Film is a medium capable of producing stuff that reaches deep into the human mind. Below are some productions that have touched Yours Truly.

From the listing, you can guess I'm a sucker for strange fiction with surreal realities. For stories combining fantasy and libertarian ideas. Preferably with some sort of cerebral attitude mixed into it. And dealing with relations in a both sincere and thought-provoking manner. But it can be great fun too - sometimes...//
