Out of the films that I have seen over the years some have stood out in terms of quality and sheer effect. These films, apart from being sensational in their treatment of various subjects and genres are engaging and aesthetically rewarding. Not to mention the entertainment value that they provide. The readers will find that this list doesn’t contain some of the more established great films as I didn’t find them entertaining enough. No matter how artistic and potent they may be in their treatment and dealing of a subject, the primary task of films is to entertain. This page will be updated over the years as I go on adding both new and old films to it.
