My 151 Favorite Films

...because 150 sounds like a way bigger number in my head than 151 and 100 films is simply not enough. These are my favorite films ever! Some films on this list are those I consider the best that cinema has had to offer and some are simply guilty pleasures. And to follow the Criterion way, I've written down three reasons why I love each of these films.
  We've made it halfway through the year so I figured it was high time I updated my list. Head here to view the list.


  Here's an interesting tidbit about my list.

My favorite directors according to the list are:

1) Billy Wilder | Total: 7 films | Highest Ranked: Sunset Boulevard

2) Ingmar Bergman | Total: 6 films | Highest Ranked: Cries And Whispers

3) David Lynch | Total: 5 films | Highest Ranked: Mulholland Drive

3) Federico Fellini | Total: 5 films | Highest Ranked: La Dolce Vita

3) Quentin Tarantino | Total: 5 films | Highest Ranked: Pulp Fiction

3) The Coen Brothers | Total: 5 films | Highest Ranked: No Country For Old Men

3) Alfred Hitchcock | Total: 5 films | Highest Ranked: Rear Window

8) Stanley Kubrick | Total: 4 films | Highest Ranked: A Clockwork Orange

9) Sofia Coppola | Total: 3 films | Highest Ranked: Marie Antoinette

9) Howard Hawks | Total: 3 films | Highest Ranked: Bringing Up Baby

9) Krzysztof Kieslowski | Total: 3 films | Highest Ranked: The Double Life Of 

Veronique

9) Richard Linklater | Total: 3 films | Highest Ranked: Before Sunrise

  I'd say the list is pretty accurate, although I do love the following directors who each have 2 titles on my list: Alain Resnais, Pedro Almodovar, Darren Aronofsky, Luis Bunuel, David Fincher, Michael Haneke, Elia Kazan, and Lars von Trier.
