My personal Top 10 movies

Full-Length movies

You know, the old-school type of movie that went on for 2-3 hours and then was over. Not like those series on streaming where one episode only lasts <1h but you can binge watch for hours...

Fiction

Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrik
Dark Star - John Carpenter / Dan O'Bannon
City of Lost Children - Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Fight Club - David Fincher
The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover - Peter Greenaway
Natural Born Killers - Oliver Stone
Pi - Shane Carruth
Arizona Dream - Emir Kusturica
Lost Highway - David Lynch
Million Dollar Baby - Clint Eastwood

Non-fiction

Bloody Sunday - Paul Greengrass
The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On - Kazuo Hara
Touching the Void - Kevin Macdonald

Series/Shows

This section used to be about TV series even though I was never really a TV person myself. Before streaming arrived I watched them on DVD. Nowadays I just write down what I want to watch on streaming and then in the dark months I get one or two month of a streaming subscription and binge watch everything form my list.

Firefly
Firefly
Twin Peaks
Dr. Who
Peaky Blinders
Firefly
Deadwood
The Wire
Twin Peaks
Altered Carbon - which is not that great, really. But they totally nailed the cyberpunk visuals...

Not sure, but I might have forgotten to list Firefly above. So just to be sure: Firefly is a great show. Just in case you missed it..

Directors

David Lynch
Stanley Kubrik
Ken Loach
Peter Greenaway
David Cronenberg
Jean-Pierre Jeunet
David Fincher
Oliver Stone

I removed Emir Kusturica from the list for political reasons. However, I still enjoy his films...
