We chose based on a variety of reasons: interest and preference, films we already own and love, films I’ve been telling Aeris to watch for years and she’s giving in, films Aeris has wanted to watch for years and I’m giving in, films we haven’t already seen a million times or too recently… So YOUR list is like to be different! But we thank everyone who gave us suggestions and we hope you all have a great month of Halloween!
