youdontseeyouwant's "Four Star Cinema"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Inspired by Wokelstein’s list, this is a running list of my favorite films. I’m only including ones that I’ve watched/re-watched since the beginning of 2007 (when I began keeping track), with plans of going through all my faves and adding them in time, picking up new finds along the way.

The title "Four Star Cinema" implies a certain standard of quality, I guess, but I make no apologies for personal biases here. Rest assured, these are favorite films that I also happen to consider Great, and generally the ones that I’ll evangelize to friends, own on DVD and watch multiple times.

To be updated slowly but, hopefully, frequently.
