100
One
thing that has become evident to me from drawing up this list is that the most
significant films of the silent and early sound periods were generally fun and
accessible, whilst the best of today’s cinema is earnest and esoteric. Or
perhaps it’s just an indicator of my taste. But as I scan down my
chronologically ordered list—from my first selection, from 1896, to my last,
from 2012—I can’t help but infer a steady and definite rise in solemnity. Whilst
contemporary art house cinema in general is in rude health, with seemingly more
great films being produced each year than ever before, there are very few
film-makers active today who can actually put a smile on my face, and even
fewer that are capable of sustaining it. But perhaps I'm just not watching the right films.
