I like lists. Particularly personal, passionate lists. Some of them helped to shape my taste and encouraged me to seek out for films that, today, I deeply love. So, needless to say, this is a very personal list. Since my first years as a cinephile, my top ten has had many distinct forms (and to be honest, rarely has it been limited to ten titles). This one is a snapshot of a momentum – and a very tough snapshot, of course, since many beloved films were left behind. That’s life. But I’m sure that all the films in this list moved me like hell.
