THE LUDICROUSLY-LOVEABLE UBER-INCREDIBLE FLICKERS PROJECT 2017 🤖

How many films will I watch in 2017. Here is the place to find out. This year, the list's name has been provided by Aaron the Robot . . . who is too lame to have a letterboxd account. Addendum: Halfway through 2017, I would definitely say this is the year of horror/exploitation films. Video Nasties, 80's monster movies, slasher films and 70's grindhouse specials have been heavily featured in this list so far this year . . . and there seems to be no sign of stopping anytime soon!
