Tea with Dench

I really wish they would make more films starring performers over 60... Those great actors deserves to play rich roles and complex characters and not just play someone's grandmother..."

What is this list?

THIS LIST IS NOT...
...a "greatest of all time list" as I haven't seen enough from various decades (I'm weak on the 1940s for example) to give that an honest go.

...a list meant to reflect consensus. For example: The Godfather (1972) is a great film and deserving of its classic status. You'll get no argument for me. But because I have no true personal connection to it, it does not appear.

... it is also not a list about recent films. I believe in allowing films a decade to settle first. This list covers films made between 1927 (the earliest film represented) to 2001.

THIS LIST IS...
...a list detailing the movies that have had the greatest effect on me as a cinephile, whether because of the time frame I saw them in, how often I think of them, or due to the things that they taught me about movies and my relationship to them.

...a list of movies I love because of but also beyond their merits.

For a clue as to the movies that might appear... the "top ten" pulldown menu looks at films by year.
