My Top Ten Films

I've finally decided to get round to writing a blog about my top ten films. Now being a film lover and film studies graduate, this is subject to much change! However, most of the films on this list have been my very favourites for a very long time. The list is in no particular order, apart from the first one, The Shining, known to me as the greatest film of all time!

1. The Shining (1980)
I adore everything about this film. It is perfect in my eyes and I would never let anyone tell me otherwise. I adore Stanley Kubrick and his obsessive attention to detail. I love Jack Nicholson and his believable psychotic breakdown. I love the massive, isolated Overlook Hotel. I love little Danny. I love the blood elevator scene. I literally would kill whoever it took to be able to say I'd made this film.

Danse Macabre: The Most Beautiful Film In The World

I first saw Danse Macabre, a film by Pedro Pires, at Edinburgh's Dead By Dawn Festival in October 2010. I think I must have watched the whole film with my jaw hanging open. It was visually stunning and the concept was beautiful. I really don't even know how to summarise what an impact it has had upon me! I found out today that I could finally buy the entire film from iTunes and it really has made my year in regards to being an audience member.

Here's the trailer:
