Top Twenty Films

[Toad]

"Peer insiduously" away, y'all.

I suppose what these films say about me is that I have an affection for the oddball, the person who unselfconsciously does their own thing and goes their own way, sometimes being triumphant in the end, sometimes not.

These are not in numerical order because, quite simply, my mind doesn't work that way, but I have helpfully ordered them by release date. There's also more than twenty... And, yes, I'm embarrassed by the shocking dearth of foreign films...
