I only watch about 10 movies a year (I’m more interested in books or TV shows)…

…but in March, I made a quick list of my all-time favourite movies.

I’ve watched almost all of these movies 5 years ago or earlier, and with some of them – ‚American Beauty‘ or the Mel Gibson ‚Hamlet‘, seen when I was 13 – I’m not sure if I would still rank them THAT high: I *remember* all of them as excellent films… but I haven’t re-examined most of them in years.
