Here’s a list of every film reviewed on That Was A Bit Mental, along with a quick description. I’m nice like that. Each review also comes with its own trailer and, where possible, a link to buy it from Amazon. If you decide you like the look of one of the films and want to buy it, please do it using one of the links because I get a tiny bit of commission that I can use to fund the site, remove ads, add storage space and so forth.
