Foxfire Recommends

Movie Recommendations

I love movies. When I share my affection for movies with friends and family and total strangers, they invariably end up asking, “What movies do you like?” That list is too long and my memory too short to offer a comprehensive list off the cuff. That’s part of the motivation behind developing Foxfire Recommends. This is a list of the movies I love. Movies that I have reviewed appear in BOLD. Click on the movie name to see my review.
