MY TOP 10 FAVOURITE FILMS OF ALL-TIME

By: Umberto L.

As it happens with Top 10 lists, there are certain directors who would have deserved multiple featurings (Fellini, Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Malick, Mizoguchi) or at least one mention (Keaton, Renoir, Dreyer, Bergman, Antonioni, Leone, Scorsese, Lynch…), but if I were to include all the titles considered in the making process, this list wouldn’t be a Top 10 anymore. As some followers of mine might know, my approach clearly doesn’t avoid these possibilities, so if you want to see big changes you will have to wait for the next update. In the meanwhile, feel free to consult and comment. [Updated 28th march 2012]
