The Movies of Happenstance
In season 1 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the movies of 1999, reckoned by many to be the greatest year of movies of all time.
In season 2 we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the movies of 1985, watching movies that we missed in our youth.
Now, in season 3 onwards, were celebrating undiscovered gems, by mining the Letterboxd archives for forgotten classics!
