Woah. So much to update you about. A lot happened over the past year. Where do we begin? Well, let’s begin by listing my favourite 50 films! You may think, “Hang on, wasn’t this suppose to be a list of the greatest movies of all time?” And you’d be right. But seeing as art is subjective, I’m going to say these are the top films ever made. Or at the very least, these are 50 films you really should watch. As a filmmaker, I heartily recommend all of these movies. So sit back, enjoy, and feel free to agree, disagree or add your own!
