My Favorite Movies

Hands down the best movie on making movies and one of the best artistic surreal movies of all time. A must-see Fellini masterpiece.

The father of all sci-fi space movies. Deep, thought-provoking and mind boggling. Kubrick's best movie is a great achievement in filmmaking. A must-see for any sci-fi flixsters.

A Bergman masterpiece possessing illimitable interpretations. Vividly haunting and contains the best Nykvist close-up photography employed in film. One to remember through the ages.

What more can be said about the undefeated AFI's best film of all time? This brilliant film is one to study for eternity. It has lived for many years and it will live for more.

Arguably the best samurai film from one of the best directors. Akira Kurosawa's magnum opus is a towering achievement, unmatched in ages.

This brilliant Truffaut masterpiece is a groundbreaking film that should be remembered forever. No other movie on growing up is as compellingly shot and beautifully nostalgic as The 400 Blows.

Powerful cinema at its best! This personal Kiarostami favorite has director Kiarostami "documenting" director Makhmalbaf poser Sabzian as he goes through trial and Ahankhah family test. Starts out as a dissection of real and staged that leads to a celebration of the human spirit. Its uber-positive outlook will leave you breathless and makes this a very unforgettable experience.

This Godard masterpiece is filled with raging passion for unorthodox filmmaking and staggering free-spiritedness.

Billy Wilder's grand tale of double-cross produces the best Hollywood film noir that's as brilliant and as heart-wrenching as any noir can be.

An underrated Hitchcock extravaganza. Peck stars as lawyer Anthony Keane defending Alida Valli accused of husband's murder. But that's just outer layer of a juicier subtext. In the end, Peck is left to choose between ideal and real. And the conclusion is fantastic!
