My February Movie

This is a list to get recommendations for an (extra) movie for me to watch during February 2023. I plan to do this every month or every second month! 

Rules & Guidelines:
- Movies only (not dramas).
- Not already in my Completed list, or my Plan to Watch list.
- No Romantic Comedies if possible.
- Not if the whole plot is about a terminally ill person (TRIGGER)!
- I reserve the right to remove it from the list if I'm sure to find it repulsing, or if it doesn't adhere to the rules!
- Arthouse films, old(er) films, and/or hidden gems are all fine & more than welcome!

- 2 votes each.
- Voting ends 15/02/2023

- I'll watch the movie ranking first during February-early March 2023. 


Note: My Favourite Movies list is here if you're interested. Also, feel free to check out my other Voting Lists here! :)
