Cinema, like any other form of artistic expression, shifts depending on the viewer’s perspective. Factors like age, social, cultural, intellectual, and emotional conditions all influence what we call art. Many masterpieces endure across time and space. They are seen through the eyes of thousands of spectators. These masterpieces are etched into the collective memory.

In this moment of my life, the 10 best movies I’ve ever seen are:

1. Schindler’s List
2. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
3. The Godfather
4. The Godfather II
5. Casablanca
6. Blade Runner
7. Saving Private Ryan
8. The Shining
9. The Terminator
10. Die Hard

Many such a list is pointless, because many excellent movies are left behind. The important thing here is which movies make us think deeply. They should prompt us to ask ourselves questions. They leave a seed in our hearts to be better humans.
