Many people make lists of their favourite films. Some like the ones made by Martin Scorsese and others compiled by Sight & Sound magazine become the holy grail, shared by many, especially in the age of social media.
I began to think of making a list of my favourite films, and started the project as a game, testing my memory. But the list became longer and stronger.
I challenged myself to add films from different parts of the world, covering decades and genres. As films were added, I had to delete some, so the list stayed at 100.
Here is my list of 100 best (and must watch) films -- many classics, some relatively new and several personal favourites. It is by no means a perfect list and I might have missed out some important films but these are films that have entertained me, taught me how to be compassionate, to view the world, and understand people, their histories, behaviour and customs.
Note: Due to the inclusion of some trilogies, the total stands at 107
