a cinephile's list

a thread in pinoydvd suggests a list of "your all-time greatest movies". i managed to come up with a 7-film list, which i attributed to the number of times i've seen. i refrained from predicating such list from technical what-have-yous/whatnots since it would compromise the likeness factor that bordered on its entirety and not on small detail.

anyway, i'm updating my list, with the inclusion of those that i mistakenly dropped in some point, and those that i have forgotten to include in the initial list.

in no order of preference:

1. Det Sjunde inseglet (1957) - Ingmar Bergman
2. Pickup on South Street (1953) - Samuel Fuller
3. Notorious (1946) - Alfred Hitchcock
4. Vertigo - (1958) - Alfred Hitchcock
5. Hachi-gatsu no Kyoshikyoku (1991) - Akira Kurosawa
6. La Nuit Americaine (1975) - Francois Truffaut
7. A Bridge Too Far (1977) - Richard Attenborough
8. Before Sunrise (1995)/Before Sunset (2004) - Richard Linklater
9. Le Battaile d' Alger (1962) - Gillo Pontecorvo
10. Bande A' Part (1964) - Jean-Luc Godard
11. Kyua (1997) - Kyoshi Kurosawa
12. Ostre Sledovane Vlaky (1966) - Jiri Menzel
13. Amarcord (1974) - Federico Fellini
14. Itim (1976) - Mike de Leon
15. Sunset Boulevard(1950) - Billy Wilder
16. Spoorloos(1987) - Georges Sluizer

that's all for now. i know i'll be updating list as time goes by. some will be intentionally dropped off, some will be retained, others will earn an outright spot, others will be evaluated. i don't know. as long as my dvd player and my cable tv spew reels and reels of cinematic baked breads, this list will continue to breathe life.
