I don't see many films, but I have added these to ones I want to see now.

I see more television and I really don't think TV is a good forum that it was decades ago with Maude and Rhoda, etc. Comedy that opened people's eyes. Now we have people like the Kardashians or the women on USA or Lifetime that have their stories center on their love life.
