If you don’t know, I love movies. Hello, film major! A small (okay huge) part of me still wants to make movies for a living. Maybe I’ll get there. Eventually. That being said, a few days ago, I asked my mom to help me come up with a list of movies everyone should see. Here is that list. Well there’s two lists.
