I picked ten different films in my last ballot in 2012. Given the wispy margins between different possible choices, I decided to set those aside this time and bring out some other favourites. (Plus one more recent film, which seems statistically reasonable.) Sadly comedies seem to have dropped out from my mix, but these ten for me also run the gamut of what cinema can be, from films that stretch the form to those that show us the world or express something of the human condition.
