Maybe it’s because I am not the list-maniac type, or maybe it’s because ‘greatness’ is a criteria with a thousand meanings, but making this list was heartbreaking. Films are like old friends, with their great shocks, intimate references, different corners of the heart and mind and secret connections between them – whether I decided to be rational or sentimental, there were many possible alternative choices to these. But even if I only tend to see what’s missing now, I can say I once fell (and still am) in love with each one of these ‘ten great films’. So let’s let the list speak for itself.
