cinematic ramblings
all the films i've seen

The following is a fragmentary, ever-developing directory of my favorite films of all-time. These are the films that have enthralled me with their sheer cinematic power. These are the films I will remember, the films I will always love. Note that the list is not in order in preference, rather I thought it would be more appropiate if it was in alphabetical order, given that it's very, very difficult to choose a definite number 1. A review for each film will follow soon.
