My Fifty+ Favorite Films

By: Uli Cain, Cinefid​el¹³

Obviously these things are ever-changing, we see new films, catch up on old ones, we grow up — I mean once upon a time Star Wars was my favorite movie.

So as of right now, today, these are my favorite films. All the Godfathers count as one film. And I need to get around to arranging them (along with my five decade lists), but the Top Ten (Twelve) are set in stone. The Mill and the Cross is the most recent film to make the list.

It’s interesting, sometimes we just need a reminder about what we thought of film for us to remember it’s greatness. We talk about films and talk about films and some always come up, but some slip through the cracks until we realize that we have actually been talking about them all along.

    It's all the Godfathers together, I just listed all three. and Part III is better than it is credited as, but it still pales in comparison to Part I and Part II.

As a chess lover I am pleasantly surprised to see Searching For Bobby Fischer in your top 65.

Interesting that you have "The Ice Storm" at #2. Ang Lee is a favorite director. I need to watch "Medium Cool" again--haven't seen it in over 25 years. Overall a fun list. As I have said before, it's always fun to see where one's tastes converge and veer away from someone else.

You're the only other person I've encountered on here with Medium Cool also in their top 20, so cheers.
