Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris in Unforgiven (1992)

My top 50 favourite ever actresses of the silver screen from any era. A work in progress - not yet definitive...

Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Timothy Hutton, Andrea Piedimonte Bodini, Nicola Di Chio, Nicolas Vaporidis, Guglielmo Favilla, Cherise Silvestri, and Giuseppe Bonifati in All the Money in the World (2017)

Not exactly obscure, but not commonly known to the casual movie fan. A list of some of my favourite films that are not as well known or widely seen as they should be.

50 incredible films you may not have seen.

Films from 1973 rated 7.0 and above by IMDB and 7, 8 or 9 by me personally.

Tatum O'Neal and Ryan O'Neal in Paper Moon (1973)

Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett, Ving Rhames, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, and Simon Pegg in Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

70 directors who have influenced my love of film and shaped my imagination. I have also listed their three best works, in my opinion. 

There are some glaring omissions but either I know little of them (Renoir, Goddard, Ozu, etc) or their body of work doesn't merit inclusion despite one or two works of genius.

I welcome comments and intelligent debate on who might replace who to make it a definitive list!

The 100 best films since the turn of the century as rated using my own "Decinemal" scoring system, which takes a score out of 10 for each of ten categories (Lead Acting, Supporting Acting, Directing, Script, Music, Design, Cinematography, Critical Response, Watchability and X-Factor) to determine an overall score out of 100. 

I am currently working on a hardback coffee table book of this list, which comes with an explanatory essay and fun facts on each film. Hopefully, it will be available to buy soon!

Scores are subject to fluctuation, as is the full list which will be added to as new films are rated.
