The "LIST": Movies and TV shows/series

On the One People's Roundtable Discussion, Lisa and I have talked about a whole shitload of movies and TV series that have some very interesting content and messages.  We'd promised for a couple of weeks to try and compile all of them.... and failed miserably, lol.

So last week I asked the Amazing people in the UnFucker United Facebook group to give us their favorites.  Little did I know that the list would grow and grow to take on a life of it's own!!

My Awesome Wolfie friend spent the time necessary to organize the list into alphabetical order, and put a brief description beside each entry.  Nice work Darlin'!! And a HUGE Thank you to all the UnFuckers who Helped put this huge list together!!

I will Pin this to the menu bar above so that it's easy to find for future reference as well.
