Films I've Watched, Listened to, or Read David Byrne Talk About

These include films he's worked on. Sorted by release date because I like that. Also includes, at this point, many films that I just know he's seen (how I know is included in the notes!)

I think David actually knows a lot about film and definitely watches a lot of films and I would like to talk to him about them (especially the documentaries that he said he's almost done with, whatever THAT means - he also said "some of them are emotionally disturbing" because he was trying to avoid that during the pandemic)
