  1. Les 400 coups:
    I am not actually a very huge fan of the Truffaut/Godard French New Wave films, but this one must be the finest, very moving and one of the best depictions of childhood put to celluloid, full of rich details that make the themes deeper, like the fact it is a typewriter he steals...

    The Long Goodbye:
    Altman one of the greatest American directors does his take on a film noir blended with dark humour, a very enjoyable watch and it's ok with me ladies.
