After pondering what the categorisation of 'greatest' even meant to me, I decided to consider what films I believe I could watch again anywhere, any time, in any mood. These 10 picks, upon first and most recent viewings, have moved me in various ways: made me laugh, cry, scream but most importantly, not stop talking about them. I look forward to seeing what films I have inevitably missed!
