THE
BEAUTIFUL BLACK WIND & FILM OPTIMIST PRESENT
100 DAYS OF
FILM
This page details
recent film reviews as well as one hundred films that I most
highly recommend. I have chosen the movies on this list for
reasons including: technical proficiency, appealing narrative,
visual beauty, performance, philosophical wrangling and sound
design. The films on this page are listed alphabetically, and not
by rank, as I don't think that art is something that should be
judged through numbers.
If you would like to discuss any of the
films on the list, you are welcome to join the film-optimist discussion
list.
