Films I rated 10 right after I saw them. Favorite films, maybe not deserving the rating for quality, but most have a special meaning! (not what i present myself in public with, not often :) Don't think they're the best, but I love to love them (the best ones, I rated 9 - and now that I see that in written - don't know where my logic was). Nevermind:
