You posted at 6AM. That's low traffic hour. I can't really do a favorite movies of all time, because there are so many classics that I haven't seen. A while back, in a different thread, I put together my favorite of the last 30 years.

Excuse me if I did not remember to mention any films.. Do not feel any offence directors!!

By the way, I have only recently turned sixteen, and I think watching art films have definitely set me towards the right path in terms of my filmmaking future, in terms of technique, film content, and knowledge.

Thank you, I will proceed to research further on Bresson's novel, who knows i might even purchase it when the opportunity comes.

As for your criticism for me not including any Godard on my list, I have to say that his filmmaking style does not exactly come near to my expectations. Of his many films I have seen Breathless, and Contempt, and I must say that none of these two films had a very heavy influence or impact on me, or at least not the impact of a Bergman, or let's say a Fellini film. I will not argue on the innovativeness of his work, however in terms of personal cinematic impact and influence, i will have to overlook him.

Let's not begin a debate over whether Godard was an fine director or not, shall we.. My statement on Godard is not final, and i may come to entirely change my outlook on his work in the future, however at the current moment I fail to see him as the golden directors that Bunuel, Bresson, or Bergman (for examples sake) were.

To conclude, I did not mean to offend any supporters of Godard, nor any professional critics, the statement written above is merely my own opinion and you, the reader, may choose with complete liberty to ignore, disagree/oppose, against my views.

Keep in my that my knowledge in the field of cinema is growing daily, and by an estimated three-years time I will have come to view the greatest films of the past, and perhaps my outlook on Godard will change.

Sorry, if i also forgot to list Orson Welles and Mizoguchi and some other great directors on my list; ..purely accidental.
