ten years of fantastic films.
CHALLENGE 14 END OF THE DECADE
ten years of fantastic films.
spoilers, i guess, for a variety of films.
Alright. This is an abonormal collection of movies. They're not the best films of the years, they're not the most popular, or most romantic. What they are is a combination of movies with heart and movies with aesthetic. All of these movies have a place in my heart, and have a sort of visual acuity, a style that is so definable that they couldn't possibly confused with any other film. But more than that. They have some kind of magic, some sort of fantasy. Not only do the films have their own world of style, but world where magical things happen. So, that's what this is. A list of other worldly films.
Also, this is my first picspam! Hope it looked as fabulous as all the other ones posted at ~picspammy!
