Some of My Favourite Films
by adrikitty | created - 25 Mar 2016 | updated - 25 Mar 2016 | PublicHere are a few films that I really enjoyed. I hope you will enjoy them, as well! Oh, and they are not in any particular order, and they are a mix of animated and live-action. (I may have a couple in here that are more guilty pleasure than favourite, but I don't think that is a problem for anyone.)
