38 movies   1 TV show  

I'm immunocompromised and don't get the chance to get out or spend a lot of time irl with friends. For my birthday, I made a list of 39 movies and I'm hoping that you'll pick at least one that you haven't seen before and watch it. Getting tired of women as sexy lamps in "Important" "Films". Some will be easy to find, but you might need to sail the high seas for some of these picks which are not streaming anywhere. Some are also on youtube or the internet archive. We have cozy picks from actual birthdays of yore, girls kicking ass, nostalgic 90s picks, and a couple that are just bad. And stuff i just want more people to see.
