Mike P. Watch List 2021
WARNING: Many of these films are not for the faint of heart or younger audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
Creating a watch list is a great way to keep a creative routine going, if you are in search of inspiration of course. If we are not making movies, we should probably be watching them. For this year of 2021, I will be publishing films that I watch throughout the year. Including the shows would be a bit extreme to keep track of. After all, entertainment should be entertaining, not a chore. This is for you whom might be in search of inspirational movies, maybe even just one diamond in the ruff you've never seen before. While revisiting some of these films, others I had never seen before. Fair warning; there's a few bad apples on this list, but everything placed on this list is there for a reason. If you are a xenophobe, please feel free to explore these titles and become something else.
TO WATCH anything you can't find, just click the film title link and IMDB should list the current viewing options. This list will be updated throughout the year as consistently as possible. I've added a rating system of (+) to indicate very good films. Think of it like a "required reading".
(+) = MUST SEE
Here's the rules I've set for myself in case anyone wants to follow along with me;
- Never watch the same thing twice. Always watch something else.
- Only movies. No episodic shows.
- Try to watch an average of one movie a day minimum. This is not required, just an experiment.
Enjoy the show!
