The Big Question First

So being quite obsessed with watching and critiquing films, everyone always asks "What are your favourite films?" and what better way to start Cinema Cocoa than with my top fifty list of favourite films?

This is quite an undertaking, and it has been ponderously developing over the last few weeks. Movies are wonderful things though, how everyone can have such radically different opinions on one piece of film, such is the way with all art! As such, this blog is my own opinion :) I have chosen the films that either influenced me personally, surprised me with their quality, or are simply films I grew up with and cannot speak a bad word against!
And as they are all my very favourites, there are little gaps in favouritism! I suppose you can rant about your own favourite not being on it though!
