My All Time Top 10!! 🎞️📽️

Since making a list is my new-found hobby, and it's interesting and challenging at the same time, I've decided to try to make a list of the movies which has influenced me, as a viewer and as a cinema enthusiast. To make things easy I've decided to make the list out of only talkies. ( Sorry Buster Keaton, Chaplin, Nosferatu and Dr. Caligari )

So, here is the list of 10 movies which has influenced me the most. 

1. The Godfather : I'd go to the mattresses for this one.

Dir : Francis Ford Coppola

2. Andrei Rublev : The only movie which I have no problem in swapping "The Godfather" with. 

Dir : Andrei Tarkovsky

3. Cinema Paradiso : Your love for movies are incomplete without this one.

Dir: Giuseppe Tornatore

4. Persona : My most favourite film from my most favourite filmmaker of all time. 

Dir : Ingmar Bergman

5. Fight Club : I prefer not to talk about it for personal reasons. 😉

6. Apocalypse Now : I had to include this. No other movie has gripped me with the effects of human psychology and war, not even paths of glory and come and see.

Dir : Francis Ford Coppola

7: Rashomon : The movie which taught me that you can convey meaning to a scene even with the lighting. 

Dir : Akira Kurosawa
