Top ten Favourite films of all time

Me and my brother thought it would be fun to make a list of our 10 favourite films. We started with a long list and took it in turns to eliminate the films we each weren’t that crazy about until we had 10 films, so it’s not necessarily our individual 10 fave films, just a sort of venn diagram of our collective favourite films, the top 10 films, on whose status of awesomeness, we both agree. A definitive list would be impossible as our 10 favourite films will change a lot as time passes and be more influenced by stuff we’ve seen recently (7 of these 10 are films we’ve watched in the past 12 months) but as a snapshot of what we currently consider to be the coolest films ever made, this list is as close as we’ll get to a definitive one.

10. A Scanner Darkly, Richard Linklater, 2006

Yeah, that’s right, Star Trek VI is the greatest film ever made. Deal with it.
