I’m often asked to recommend films in various categories. I’m not by habit a list-maker, so I imagine the lists here will evolve as new choices strike me or I suddenly remember a title I should have included.
These films are a purely personal choice and the lists given are not definitive by any means. Some of them are acknowledged classics but quite a few are not well known or obvious choices – which is why they are worth recommending you hunt down.
Depending on the time I have, I will probably add a few lines of description to each name but in the meanwhile you can always look them up in the International Movie Database (www.imdb.com).
