Well, these are just my favorites. Film, like culture, is inherently subjective. That's why I choose not to make a distinction between best-of and favorite movies: it would feel artificial if I did. I also chose not to add notes: I prefer to let the films speak for themselves.

Haven't seen: l'Age d'Or, Eraserhead, Ivan's Childhood, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Pitfall, La Pointe Courte, The Return, Son of Saul
