This is a very personal list. Film students are supposed to make suggestions such as Citizen Kane and Un chien andalou, which are indeed fine and founding cinematic works of art. Nevertheless, if we are true to our core emotions and visual pleasure preferences, the list tends to be not so, let’s say, “academic”.
So here is mine, in no particular order of preference, with no explanations to why I chose them attached, in the fair (yet unplanned) amount of 25 titles. Some of these I might have even already mentioned before. Others I might forget and hence might mention later. If I have to give one reason why these movies are on my list, it would be that each of them is quite unique – these are movies that follow their own rules, if you know what I mean…
Anyway, here it goes: Psycho, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Os Saltimbancos Trapalhões, The Graduate, Zelig, This is Spinal Tap, Vertigo, Annie Hall, Los Amantes del Círculo Polar, Magnolia, Gilda, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Pulp Fiction, Back to the Future I and II, The Godfather I and II, Kill Bill vols. I and II, Finding Nemo, Duck Soup, Modern Times, High Anxiety, Last Temptation of Christ.
