Tom Fox's forty favorite films
This is a list of my favorite movies, in no particular order. These films are not necessarily
"important", but
I will happily watch any of them anytime, anyplace.
Bold marks my top ten. These are "great" by any standards.
Italics mark "perfect" films. I wouldn't change a thing.
