Having recently sold off the majority of our furniture, and started to pack most of our possessions away, before we leave the country for several months, I was faced with the task of choosing which DVDs and Blu-Rays I couldn’t pack away as I would most likely watch them before we left, and which Films and Music to take with us whilst we are away. Now, seven months is a long time, so narrowing down which artist’s music I felt I couldn’t live without from over 400, and which films I felt the same way about from over 900, presented itself as a very tough challenge. Given that Film is my passion and I love my Music almost as much, this was not easy.
So, of the Films and Music I’ve decided to keep/take, here’s the choices I feel I can’t live without:
