UWFC Movie List

That's right, a movie list. There are several reasons for publishing this list. First, as your coach, I want you to be cultured and well rounded. Second, and by far the more important reason, I make the occasional movie reference and it would be nice if I weren't met with blank stares.

This list is far from complete. It grows every year.

The Basics

If you haven't seen every movie in this column, well, I just don't know what to say.

The Mid-Range

You should see all these films. If you've missed one or two, I'll let it slide.
