Top Ten Tuesday is hosted at The Broke and the Bookish and this week's topic is a Movie Freebie -- If we make TBR lists for books, how about a To-Be-Watched list of movies? I really don't watch a lot of movies so it was a little tough. I broke it up into two categories - movies and documentaries, but it turns out nearly all of my movies are based on true stories. (Bridget feels real to me though!)
