This is a collection of all of my personal favourite works on IMDb. It includes films, TV series, recorded theatre, stand-up, and concerts. It has taken me 30 years to accumulate 250 perfect items worthy of this list. Each one has had a significant emotional impact on me and defined a certain period of my life, and I have wonderful and important memories associated with each. 

Every item on the list I have rated 10/10, or sometimes 9/10 where there may be the smallest of changes I wish the artists had made but my love for the piece and the impact it had on me was still profound.

The list is in reverse chronological order (i.e. most recently discovered items first). Except for sequels that also make the list, which are mostly kept together with their original films for organisation’s sake.

For a list of what I consider the 'best' and most impressive art films, rather than my personal ‘favourite’ works, see my list: 'The best films of every year (1894—2023) for cinephiles'.
