These films are among my favourites. Here, you have everything: rainy afternoon weepies; thought provoking, intelligent cinema; art-house works of genius; guilty pleasures; classic comedy; Hepburn and Monroe; Shakespeare adaptations; feminist diatribes; the best contemporary European auteurs(Almodovar, Akin, Ozon, Von Trier); and films by Eric Rohmer and Atom Egoyan, the best in the business.
