Description

Recently in London Ontario Canada, our favourite awkward movie star, Michael Cera, gave a hand-written Must Watch movie guide to a fan. At the bottom of his list (which is fantastic, by the way), he wrote a personalized message to the fan: "To Harvey, Please watch these, for your own sanity. - Michael Cera". You may know Cera from his most recent film, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World or from the TV show that gave him his start: Arrested Development. Although the library doesn't own all the titles on his list, we give you a great start!
