Steve’s latest video has be added to this page…our thoughts found on his channel found below.
Nice video, though she is far from one of my favorites. Though…I have seen 24 of these movies and 29 overall. Top 3 are all great movies. Other favorites would include #22 Hook and #14 Contagion. I also really liked Flesh & Bone…which does not seem to have made the video. Voted up and shared.
Hi Bruce, your tally 24 out of the 32 on the video, I’ve seen 17. Not sure what happened to Flesh & Bone. some films fall by the wayside in the final chopping.
Lots of favorites here and you know which one’s I mean. 🙂
