100 Movies

I recently bought an interesting poster. “100 Movies Scratch off Bucket List.”

The back of the box says “Our interactive bucket list poster is here to help you discover, watch and enjoy one hundred of the most beautifully crafted and awe inspiring films to have ever graced the silver screen. Let our incredible list transport you to new worlds, allow you to witness pioneering cinema, unearth hidden gems, be brought to tears and reduced to fits of laughter. Keep you poster as a reminder of the incredible creativity and skill of everyone involved in making these movies.”
