It's taken me years to accumulate a satisfactory collection of movies.

How to view my movies list

WordPress has no way to just create a list, but you can view entry summaries:

You can use tags (more on tags) to narrow down your interests. Generically:

By genre:

I happen to track some other basic concepts in movies, for example:

You can manipulate tags by combining them. When you look at any particular movie (search for one you know!) you can see its list of tags, and click one to see anything like that, or manually combine them. Some examples:

You will see overlap here and there. Some movies are science fiction fantasy superhero movies because Batman and Iron Man are science fiction, but Wonder Woman and Aqua Man are fantasy fiction.
