In honour of the Sight & Sound Greatest Film Evah List coming out today, I thought I'd post a list of the current cream of my crop. Please note, this only includes films that I've watched in the last three years (i.e. since I started recording such things). There was no
Citizen Kane to dethrone because I haven't seen it in the last three years (though, I would note, it would have placed quite highly).
Vertigo however, was completely qualified to be included on this list.
