I don't expect anyone to pass judgement or take any special interest in my favourites but what does it matter.. All Lists are subjective, so I'm not going to lose too much sleep over my choices! I pretend to be no "movie buff," but I've always had a strong interest in films and have seen the vast majority of those that seem to invariably appear on the various lists on this Web site... I'll choose just 45 motion pictures. Even though it's a wholly personal choice, which may or may not tally with you as a good one, all I can say is "what can one do?" Personal taste is personal taste! The list, in no particular order, is as follows:
