Throughout, I've tried to select films that mean a lot to me personally, that have changed me for the better to a certain extent. My hope is that these films can do the same for others as well. Not a one of them is known as widely as it ought to be, and while they're not all uniformly great, they are each magnificent achievements that, to whatever degree they may be flawed, give testament to why I love cinema.
