Top 15 Favourite Films

I love films. I love lists. This list is my bonsai tree -- I prune it, I nurture it. Maintaining it is a zen experience for me.

My two favourite film genres are Godard and Ambient. Later on with this blog I'll be focusing on what Ambient means to me in film terms, with posts on about half the films in this list.
