Every watchlist I have is always growing so big that I forget why I put certain films on there. Here I want to make a watchlist and describe the context of each film on it somehow. For example: ‘From the 1972 year poll’ or ‘By stalking Bure’s five star ratings’ or ‘researching technicolour adventure films’ or ‘DtC holdovers’ etc.
Maybe it’ll be useful for others too.
