Gilbert Adair's Favourite Films

As selected by the distinguished film critic and novelist, with top 10s, for Sight & Sound polls in 2002 (listed first here), 1992 and 1982- most selected more than once, so 17 films were picked.

See also Erik Gregersen’s list Flickers based on Adair’s superb book of that title. To the 17, I am adding some films which he especially liked among his Flickers selection, others he chose in the Europe: The Golden Age section of Film: The Critics’ Choice and others which he praised very highly.
