Summer '23 purchases of films not yet seen
Over the summer I went a bit nuts and bought loads of DVD's & Blurays (some 3D). As they're used-condition from resellers the prices are actually ok. Now that the spree has reached a hundred I'm gonna stop :D
Here for posterity, will update the list with ratings and a mini-review-note when I get round to each film. Will probably take a few years! Quite a decent mix of stuff, hopefully some new favourites among them...
The List is in rough order-of-purchase.
