My top films

Time to reveal my GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) movies.. in the most complicated way I know how!

I’m guessing I will get asked this more often now that I am attempting to write this blog. I’ve been asked a million times previously and I probably give a slightly different answer each time. I just love too many damned movies! So I’m going to break things down..

There will be three sections to this

• Films that have really changed my life, (GOAT) my greatest of all time (top 30).
• Films I can watch repeatedly and usually forget when listing a GOAT list but really should get a mention because I can’t live without them (top 100).
• Films that I defend and should have some recognition (top 250).

Lets start with the more important  (the other lists will follow).. My GOAT list, in no particular order.

• Orlando (1992)

• In the aftermath angles never sleep (1988)

•  Le Pacte des loups – Brotherhood of the wolf (2001)

• Crna mačka, beli mačor – Black Cat White Cat (1998)

• Death Machine (1994)

• Hardware (1990)

• Akira (1988)

• Dune (1984)

• Amadeus (1984)

• The Thing (1982)

• Jakpae – City of Violence (2006)

• Bittersweet Life (2005)

• Taxidermia (2006)

• Angel Heart (1987)

• Blade Runner (1982)

• Delicastessen (1991)

• Cronos (1993)

• The Crow (1994)

• Hannibal (2001)

• Gladiator (2000)

• Excalibur (1981)

• Se7en (1995)

• Fahrenheit 451 (1966)

• Un prophète – A Prophet (2009)

• Robocop (1987)

• Carandiru  (2003)

• This Years Love (1999)

• Quai des Orfèvres – 36 (2004)

• Die Hard (1988)

• Mad Max (1979)

That was pretty painful… I guess I could name 100 movies I’d like to add to this on a daily basis… I think I’ll feel more comfortable with a top 100 list or 250.

I’ll leave the justification of these movies to another post. Looking at it the list is quite commercial and doesn’t really reflect my collection but these movies have all affected me deeply in some way.
