My cop of Sleestak’s list because this looks like fun.
This is a silly article composed by a dummy with clearly too much time on his hands.

After seeing this piece pop up so much on my TL I decided to create this list of the films mentioned bc I too have not seen all of these or for some it’s been a long time and they’re not logged here. So it makes for a nice blindspot list regardless on the context. These are listed in order presented in the article.
sensoria has logged 63 out of 100 movies in Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance. Back to Lists Overview.
