Some Essential Cinema

Here are 10 films, plucked from my vast list of favorites, just to give you a sense of my particular cinematic taste. I could have easily picked 10 different films, but these films just happened to pop into my head. I have always favored cinema that strives to communicate with images, and these films are all profound visual experiences. If you haven't seen any of these before, I urge you to check them out:
