Movie Nights?
A list of potential titles to be viewed at our local private movie nights in Baltimore. Contact me if you have any suggestions...! It seems we are leaning towards the fairly to moderately obscure and creepy side of awesomely deep and beautiful cinema, and particularly things many of us have not seen already...) I threw in some shorts and collections of shorts as well, but can always bring plenty more.
