Comments
Twin Peaks
1990
Seasons 1-3, with a very honourable mention to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.
Stalker
1979 USSR
The most sublime of quest films…
Two Lovers
2008 USA, France, Ukrainian SSR
A vote for one of my most valued figures of 21st-century cinema.
News from Home
1976 France, Belgium
Reimagines what composite parts a film could be made of.
The Kid
1921 USA
This was the Chaplin I returned to constantly when I started seriously watching his features at age 13. And I can't quite explain why, then or now.
Serene Velocity
1970 USA
One of the best illustrations of the unique creative possibilities of the film camera.
Fuses
1967
The cat knows all.
Further remarks
What a pleasure and honour to be granted a vote in the 2022 poll. I still believe I have much to learn from these ten titles, and for cinema overall to teach me as the years stream on quicker than I can process them.
