Extrememly interesting mix and not what I was thinking. At lease for the movies I haven't seen it will be nice to see them I hope but I'll probably know more after I see them.
In high school I found Cinema Paradiso and Blade Runner among others but that wasn't in depth like this sounds like it will be.
