Below are my selections for a Sight & Sound-inspired top 10 list. It’s a variation of the list that focuses on what are both (in my opinion) important works in the history of world cinema, and the significance the films had on me, serving as chief inspirations to become a filmmaker and attempting to make my own short & feature works. This list is, of course, purely subjective though I do welcome conversation. Unranked, chronological order:

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) dir. Carl Th. Dreyer

The Seventh Seal (1957) dir. Ingmar Berman

Army of Shadows (1969) dir. Jean-Pierre Melville

The Godfather: Part I (1972) dir. Francis Ford Coppola

Barry Lyndon (1975) dir. Stanley Kubrick

Raging Bull (1980) dir. Martin Scorsese

sex, lies, and videotape (1989) dir. Steven Soderbergh

Beau Travail (1999) dir. Claire Denis

All About My Mother (1999) dir. Pedro Almodóvar

Mulholland Dr. (2001) dir. David Lynch

Fun trip into the downward-spiraling cesspool that is being a millennial/zennial. Looking forward to Reijn’s next.
