What a great list of recommended movies. I have had NF and AP for years and barely watch them; just wasting money. Your blog has inspired me to check out some of your listings. Criminal Minds sounds interesting.
Great to hear you enjoyed the list, thanks for your feedback! Yes, Criminal Minds is a very interesting show!
