Hello everyone! We decided to make a post dedicated to picking movies! Please comment below with any suggestions you have for monthly themes or individual movies. We’ll curate some of them into groups of four movies that we could potentially use for future months. None of these are set in stone, and will likely evolve over time based on your suggestions. We won’t be able to list every movie you suggest here (there are so many!) but that doesn’t mean we won’t pick it at some point in the future. They’re all on the table!
