My April Movie
This is a list to get recommendations for an (extra) movie for me to watch during April-May 2023. I plan to do this every month or every second month!
- This time I'm gonna add most recommendations from previous months' lists that didn't make it first place, and you can vote your preferences among them (so no adding items permission).
- 6 votes each, voting ends 25/04/2023.
- I'll watch the movie ranking first during April-May 2023.
Note: My other voting lists are here if you're interested.
