I could have written about 20 lists of exceptional films based on cinematography, humour, acting skill, artistic merit, and ability to transport the viewer. Instead I opted for films that are personal favourites. Every film here is a masterpiece of their creators, transport the mind, and are consummate performances from the actors:
10. Hallam Foe (David Mackenzie, 2007)
9. Valmont (Milos Forman, 1989)
8. Stealing Beauty (Bernado Bertolucci, 1996)
7. Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954)
6. A Single Man (Tom Ford, 2009)
5. Kill Bill vol. 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2004)
4. Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola, 2003)
3. True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993)
2. Cat People (Jacques Tourneur, 1942)
1. The Pillow Book (Peter Greenaway, 1996)
