Once again it's time to start a list showing every movie I watch this year. As is my wont, I always ask a friend to come up with the name for the list and this year it's the turn of my doddy Cheeks letterboxd.com/cheeksdabelly/ . He gets the honour of naming this list because he turns 100 years old this year. So here are the movies I watched in 2018.
