The Alamo 100

Alamo Drafthouse put out a list of 100 movies they’d want on a desert island back in 2020. Sourced from all their creative directors across the country.

I thought it was an interesting place to find new movies, and was tracking my watches privately. Why private? Who knows. Now it’s public. You’re welcome.
