It wasn't easy to limit my notion of the greatest films of all time – those that have awakened my love of cinema, become ingrained in the fabric of my life, and continue to leave me in awe upon each viewing – to a list of 10. Here is a selection of films that have also deepened my admiration for the medium as an ever-evolving artform and a source of endless passion:

 

Close-Up (Abbas Kiarostami, 1990) 

Klute (Alan J. Pakula, 1971) 

Three Colors: Red (Krzysztof Kieślowski, 1994) 

Naked (Mike Leigh, 1994) 

Punch-Drunk Love (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2002) 

Les Amants du Pont-Neuf (Leos Carax, 1991)

Two Lovers (James Gray, 2008)

Variety (Bette Gordon, 1983)

Notorious (Alfred Hitchcock, 1946) 

Losing Ground (Kathleen Collins, 1982)
