Thank you to my mum who showed me two of these films when I was 18, just starting to write (very bad) criticism and trying to teach myself about the world of cinema beyond Hollywood. I tried to make my list in that spirit: ten films which have nourished me, which made me feel things I didn't know it was possible to feel, and which offer a way of thinking about cinema as more than a site of capital accumulation.
