Carson's list of good movies

Lots of people say I hate every movie and that there are no movies that I like, so i've spent the last few days thinking of movies that I like. Here it is

the listing order has no rhyme or reason. I just wrote down titles as they popped in my head. Order is not indicative of preference or quality, and obviously, there are tons of movies I haven't put on because I can't think of them at the moment. I was lucky enough to have all of the movie channels on Cox since I was 7, so I've watched hundreds of movies and obviously couldn't think of all of them for this list. I will update as they pop in my head.

Also threw in a TV and book list for recommended viewing/reading
