confession:

I didn’t start going to movie theaters until I was a sophomore in high school. I’m still catching up on all the great movies from the 90’s to early ‘00s (thank heaven for Netflix.)

I can bet you that I’ve seen less movies than incarcerates spending their lives in jails and high-falutin, more righteous-than-thou head nuns—combined. On the bright side, it’s easy to recount my favorite movies.
