A collection of great films, selected because of my fondness for them, and for their artistry, historical roles and influence.

In other words, films that vindicate the art form.

As the late, great Roger Ebert stated: "We go to different movies for different reasons, and greatness comes in many forms".

Unranked and excluding documentaries, for now.
