User:Ssven2/Films that I have seen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In my humble and honest opinion, this guy is the complete package!

This is the complete list of the film that I have seen thus far. The list will be updated from time to time by yours truly. For each of the sections, I have arranged the films according to their year of release and in alphabetical order. For the films that are given an "Epic!!!" rating, I included a picture in case one doesn't spot them. The pictures usually consist of either a poster or a still from the film or anything/anyone related to it.

I have also listed the top 50 films, directors, actors and actresses, many of whose films I have seen and enjoyed immensely. This too will be updated. I listed "the master of suspense" as the numero uno as he provides the complete package when it comes to presenting a film's story both visually and thematically. He is also quite adept at filmmaking techniques (Strangers on a Train, Vertigo and North by Northwest being some of them). These aspects are, in my opinion, the key features of a director.

Do feel free to suggest any films that are highly recommended or worth watching on the talk page. Ping me if you wish to (even though I'm watching this user page and its talk page). I have also created a list of must watch films. It is a special list of films that must not be missed. Do feel free to make a visit to that page too. Your suggestions of films may have the possibility of making it to the special list.
