Continued from part one. This is the second half of the list. A full fifty-two weeks of films (we had a break for Christmas so the whole thing ran slightly over a year).
We were mostly on a three week rotation apart from the eldest sometimes picking. Such was the pressure and stress to come up with something good when it was my turn, I started putting together a list to choose from in advance - It was not just case of picking something I wanted to watch, it had to be something I thought the family would be interested in as well; I tried just once picking something purely that I wanted to watch. I still have a lot of films on my list I didn’t get to.

§ - I thought, given the hours and hours of stuff I have watched over the years for the benefit of others, that people would be ok watching just one film I like, even if they weren’t that keen, but no of course not. Maybe I’ll get to watch it again in another ten years
