There's so much
to say about a list like this, that the best thing to do is just shut up
and let the titles do the talking. However, introduction never hurt no one
and I'm dying to mention that these are nothing but MY hundred best films,
MY favorites. Heavy on eighties, steady on nineties, filling up with
noughties, even statistically it makes sense. But all choices are made by
heart and highly personal interests: many women, cheesy romance, lots of
troubled youngsters and soothing childhood sentiment, some search for the
meaning of life and other pretentious masturbation. Physically explicit
films in sweet harmony with mental stimulation. Exciting,
entertaining and calming. Personal.
