I have kept a journal of events and thoughts during this time, but that journal does not list little things like food we ate or videos I watched. So, in the spirit of remembering this time, here is my movie list for the past while. I have done nothing noble for quite some time, and I am ok with that. Many of these movies kept me company while I healed, and I wonder if I will always associate them with the listless months of 2020. I have starred the movies I would watch again someday, and I own all but two of these films. This collection has turned out to be a comforting element of emergency preparedness. Who knew?
