In 2020, I turned 25, so I figured to start 2021, I'll list 25 of my favorite films. I tried to not box myself in with the "one per director" rule, but I naturally fell into that selection process.

At the moment, these are the 25 films that have probably had the biggest impact on me and brought out the most excitement I could have for cinematic ideas I want to further develop. Maybe there are films that tackle a style similar to something I put here that I might prefer, but what you see here are the films that introduced me to those ideas, for the most part. Either way, I hope you learn something about me based on what I choose.
