I could always make the list much larger, but it's best to keep it simple. The order is somewhat how I feel and I often make updates for the list. Hope you enjoy!

Added 6.3.2015. This is the only list containing my favorite films that I bother to update.

21.10.2019. For some reason 8½ was missing from the list. No idea for how many years. Now it's back where it belongs. Some other titles also in the lower sections, apparently. I'll try to keep up.

29.4.2020. Decided to remove remaining miniseries for simplicity. No matter if they have had theatrical releases or not. If it's made for television, the most simple thing is not to count one as a film here. In Dekalog's case this kind of hurts as it is very, very dear to me. Short films, say under 45 minutes, had to also go as it is getting rather difficult for me to accurately compare them to feature films the way I am used to. A list this long doesn't need any more elusiveness.
