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.
