Richard Marshall is an 80 year old cinephile living in Portland, Oregon. He has been watching one film a day for most of his life. Every time he watches an "emotional grabber" he handwrites the film title down on his list.
You can see his full list of emotional grabbers here:

I watched 3 films I had never heard of on there and they were all great (Rimini, Teddy Bear and Compartment Number 6). Only 222 left to go!
