The Narrator: The Better Man's Lists

My favorite directors, actors and actresses. Top ten anyways, along with what I view as their best works. I might add more categories such as cinematographers, composers, writers and producers, along with a R.I.P. section. We'll see.

I don't really watch tv much, so the few shows I do enjoy, are either really worth it, or mildly entertaining.

5 Stars - Fanfuckingtastic 4.5 Stars - A Must See 4 Stars - A Good Film 3.5 Stars - Worth the Price of Admission

These ten films have come to inspire and define my taste in films over the accumulated years. While most are relatively fresh and recent, I had quite a few classics in my top ten. However, I see no reason to hide or make excuse for my final decisions. I am after all 23, going on 24, and no matter how much I may love the classics, these films are simply more enjoyable and fascinating to me and my life style, not films made 3 decades prior to my birth. I must say it has been hard choosing my top ten, as I have made this list numerous times only to delete it after a day or two due to uncertainty. Even now, the order of this list is a little bit sketchy to me, but the choices are final, and until something else comes along to take a films place, this is my solid 10. Let it be known I judge films on more than whether they're good or not. More than if the acting is well done, or if the lighting is legitimate and the cinematography is fluid, etc, etc. I, like several others, will judge films based on whether or not it's "relatable", and/or if it has passion, credibility, and overall potential. Potential is what makes or breaks a film for me. If I, a 23 year old no name, could have done things better then I will definitely voice my opinion on the films flaws and disregard for said scene. It also works the other way. If I see no possible way that a scene could have been improved upon, then that film will always, always, have my praise. Also, I notice I have no animated films on here as well... well it's probably because I'm really not an animated kind of guy. No matter how much I may enjoy an animated picture, it will still fail to have the impact that a live action film will have on me, and I'm even including films like Akira. Actually, come to think of it, this is simply my tastes and preferences and I shouldn't have to defend myself to an invisible audience. So there! Away with you, flimsy film conscience, and come not heather. To everyone else, enjoy and comment. :)

My final top films of 2010. A good, albeit slow start to the decade. Final list.

Last year was a rather okay year at the movies. Exciting at times and refreshing at others, but overall lack-luster.

A list of the decades most influencing films to my own self. Not the world but just me. There's Gold(best), Silver(Runner Up), Bronze(close third) and of course the guilty pleasures that need to be on the list for some reason.

Being the person I am, these are my must see movies from next year to 2015. Bound to change as they come out.
