Favorite Movies
Being asked about a “favorite movie” is a complicated subject, but I do have a few default answers, and there’s also this collection of stuff. This list is more or less a great look at the films I favor most, though the rankings are pretty all over the place, especially as the list is always expanding. Perhaps I will be able to link some of these films listed to reviews or other interesting sites, as I develop it more (and Letterboxd has easily provided a good outlet for more specific lists), but for now, here is a massive compilation of all the films I truly enjoy the most:
