Description: No Hollywood happy dappy here, just some f*cking great films.
This playlist is entirely subjective, and I’ll only include films I’ve actually watched. Having said that, I’m totally not into torture porn, or gratuitous hack n slash shite. But… If it’s on this list, I’ve watched it and think it has merit. That doesn’t mean I enjoyed them all, hahahaha… even though I did.😎
