18 best movies (all-time)
This list was formed during the last three years, when I watched many movies in search of 'the good ones', 'the pearls' so to say, also among art-movies and world cinema... I admire Fellini as a director, Bergman and Woody Allen (though all of them have made terrible movies), and also Terry Gilliam and David O. Russel. In movies I like artistic 'honesty' (whatever that exactly means), psychological depth, realism, existential challenges and movies that are character-driven. I dislike when (opportunistic) effects determine what happens (instead of effects evolving out of the inner need of the story), when characters in the movie are caricatures, sentimentality, fear-driven movies, and imagination-driven or desire-driven movies when the imagination or desires are rather superficial (egoistic or base). I do believe that movies can be a work of art, though I admit and observe that this is a difficult attainment probably because so many people are involved in making a movie.
