I find list-making to be a very stressful endeavor. I have no real canon ready to go, just an ever-expanding, free-floating collection of films with aesthetics that speak to me. Of course I love all of these films and acknowledge their importance, but I also feel as though my list could shift every week, or maybe even every day, and perhaps that's part of what's so exciting about being a cinephile in the first place!
