Picking my top ten favourite films seems an impossible task. They have changed over the course of my life, through rewatchings, new life experiences and being introduced new films. My approach here was to pick films from a set of my own categories that provided revelatory or epiphanic experience for me. These films all taught me something new about what the cinema can be.
