250 films you could read about before you die
A list of films that have a separate entry on Jahsonic.com. Mostly favorites, and a few exemplary unfavorites. A good addition to 1001 Movies you Must See Before You Die (2004), with the difference that some of the films listed here are more suitable to read about than to actually watch. If you'd press me for a list of all time favorites it would include Peeping Tom (1960) by Michael Powell, A Clockwork Orange (1971) by Stanley Kubrick, Videodrome (1983) by David Cronenberg, Audition (1999) by Takashi Miike and Romance X (1999) by Catherine Breillat.
