If you know anything about me, you know I am a cinephile. Movies are my passion and probably the only hobby I’ve ever had. Ben and I go to the movies about once a week. We have to look up almost every actor, director, producer and score creator of almost every movie we watch. One project I wanted to tackle before considering children was to write down a list of our favorite movies. As time goes on, people get more and more bogged down with the myriad of choices of what to watch. Well, here are my all time favorite films by genre. ENJOY future spawn and anyone reading.
