The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle)(Every Man for Himself and God Against All) 1975, Unrated)

Fitzcarraldo 1982, PG)
a film that I value highly critically and personally. it takes it's time to reveal it's greatness, but once it unfolds it becomes more compelling than most films could ever aspire to be. |

One of the best movies ever made, The Godfather gets everything perfect and has an intangible quality that has never been recreated, other than in it's sequel |

A masterpiece that possibly exceeds the already overwhelming greatness of it's predecessor. |
|

A masterpiece. Sure it's hilarious, but more important it contains a profound sense of humanity and heart. |
|
| 12 |
Princess Mononoke (Mononoke-hime) 1999, PG-13)

A funny, sad and beautiful masterpiece |

a brilliant continuation of one of television's greatest offerings that delivers on all counts and then some. |

| 15 |
Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) 1954, Unrated)
One of cinema's greatest masterpieces. Everything one hopes to gain from a film is here. Its 3 1/2 hour running time flies by, and I wouldn't cut a single moment. Still stands as the best action picture ever made, even over 50 years later. |
|

Synecdoche, New York 2008, R)
An infinitely intellectual and deeply resonant masterpiece. One of my most favourite films. Perhaps the best that 21st century cinema has to offer so far. |
