Okay, I’ve always thought that someone’s favorite movies tell a lot about who they really are, especially if they’re deeply interested in film. Since everyone here loves movies so much I think that this is a pretty basic topic, so here’s mine:
1. Chungking Express – Wong Kar-Wai
2. Breathless – Jean-luc Godard
3. Persona – Ingmar Bergman
4. Vertigo – Alfred Hitchcock
5. The Third Man – Carol Reed
6. Repulsion – Roman Polanski
7. Blade Runner – Ridley Scott
8. M – Fritz Lang
9. La Jetee – Chris Marker
10. Lost in Translation – Sofia Coppola
If you’ve seen all these movies you can pretty much guess that I’m a hopeless romantic, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So what are your favorites? If you want you can expand the list to top twenty, whatever. I just did top ten because I find it really hard to choose and rank favorites if there are too many.
