Abstract

With more than a century of film history to navigate, deciding which films should be ushered into the pantheon of genuine cinema classics is a pitiless, not to say perilously subjective, business. Undaunted, we challenged 50 cultural luminaries to nominate their favourite film, and tell us why they love it. The results, like the films themselves, range from the intriguing to the hilarious and poignant, and are, in one or two cases, succinct to the point of inscrutability, as you will discover below. We urge you to use this compendium - which, we should warn you, is light on CGI action blockbusters and heavy on Werner Herzog - as our go-to list of recommendations for the winter evenings, (or perhaps, afternoons), that lie ahead.
