There's no such thing as the greatest films of all time. But I'll take the opportunity to share ten films that have stuck with me, and which I'd be happy to introduce to others who might not have seen them. Some are short and can be found online. My predilection for these is in almost all cases connected to my encounters with them in particular places and at specific times in my life. I'm of course leaving out way too many works by other filmmakers I'd also like to include.
