Top 10

Not that anyone gives a heck about my top 10, so essentially it is truly for myself that I name the movies that have inspired me or more aptly....films that still continue to inspire me to be a better artist and to understand my craft. So here it is: 1. Citizen Kane - Orson Welles 2. Psyco - Alfred Hitchcock 3. Magnolia - Paul Thomas Anderson 4. Pulp Fiction - Quentin Tarantino 5. Schindler's List - Steven Spielberg 6. Raging Bull - Martin Scorsese 7. Talk to her - Pedro Almodovar 8. Amores Perros - Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu 9. The Godfather - Francis Ford Coppolla 10. Biutiful - Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu So there you have it. In some of these films I only remember fragments and in others, there are just perfect scenes which on their own are worth revisiting. Sadly there are 5 films which did not make my list but for the sake of admiration and respect, they deserve a mention. Here they are: 1. The Edge of Heaven - Fatih Akin 2. Dreams - Akira Kurosawa 3. Seven Samurai - Akira Kurosawa 4. Y tu mama tambien - Alfonso Cuaron 5. Leon - Luc Besson
