My Top 50 Favorite Films

I'm pretty early on my journey through the art of film and I've watched hundreds of movies since this video... so my list has very much changed, and so has my perspective on what makes a good movie. I will hopefully upload an updated list sometime this year.

These are my top 50 favorite films as of now. It's hard for me to rate every single movie into a perfect ordered list so it's ranked very loosely, if I have a movie ranked above another it probably doesn't mean I think it's better. I'm not at all claiming for these to be the best films of all time
(Even though I do consider a lot of these films some of the best)

-Let me know your guys' favorite films in the comments, I'd love any recommendations.

Music:
Moby - God moving over the face of the waters
Beethoven - Symphony No.7 in A major op.92 - II, Allegretto

[aptdccvii]

great list! have you even seen any work by wong kar wai? he's my fav director, his movies are just beautiful

[MatheusRedig]

I recommend non-American directors like Bergman, Tarkovsky, Kurosawa, Tati, Mizoguchi. These new experiences may change your list.

[dryptobot]

Kill Bill and the Deer Hunter was really all I needed to see, great list

[arlodante]

Maybe try a little Andrei Tarkovsky, Lars Von Trier, Gaspar Noe, Ingmar Bergman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard, Bob Fosse, Harmony Korine? Just off the top of my head.

[Wfnijks-ZZ]

Great to see Memento so high up, definitely Nolan's best film

[Cadenedits]

Yo great list now i have more movies to watch!!

[qutibaable]

good list even though I would disagree with some ranking . but its interesting. waiting for the top 100

[bardellspence]

wonderful that the Dark Knight is here, masterpiece👍😁🌧

[experimentalcinema]

Its a great list, loved it ! I was waiting for Rashomon to show up as seven samurai is in your list, I think its better than seven samurai, what are your thoughts about it

[qsetz]

Personally my top 3 would be

1. Elephant Man
2. Drive
3. Pulp Fiction

[Josh-qi]

Great list my favorite movie is mulholland drive

[scottmiller]

Not a bad list but too many newer films! The older ones from many years ago are somewhat better in many ways!
