The Top 150 Greatest Films of All Time
Quite simply, I love cinema. I love films and the people behind them who put in great work to make them. I might be young, but that doesn’t interfere with the movies I watch. I watch movies from all eras, from all regions, from all sorts of diversities of culture and themes. I’m obviously not a film critic or film historian, but that shouldn’t undermine my opinion on films. Watching movies are above all, one of my passions, not just to pass the time, but to also possibly learn something new from a different perspective. Cinema may never receive the respect as written literature, but that doesn’t mean that it is thus inferior to other forms of art. Movies are seen by some snobby people as a medium that lazy people spend time on to pass time and turn off their brains. That couldn’t be further from the truth, as my list here and many other ‘greatest films’ list have shown. Unlike many people, I'm incredibly strict when rating films 10/10, as they must be truly all-around perfect to receive that rating, so that's why I've only rated five movies 10/10. I’ve watched and rated 2,500+ movies on IMDb, including roughly over 90% of the IMDb Top 250 films and over 60 films of Sight & Sound magazine's 2012 critics poll of the 100 Greatest Films of All Time.
The list only accounts for feature-length films; not short films, documentary films, & TV movies. All the films in this list are rated at least an '8.5/10' by me.
