My 50 Favourite Movies 我最喜歡的 50 部電影

我最喜歡的 50 部電影

Just a few days ago, Monica Cheng has nominated me to select 10 of my favourite movies on Facebook.  I accepted but found it difficult to just select 10, so I said I would do 20.  But as I go through my list, I cannot just name 20, so here I select 50 of my favourite movies.

Some of them might not be box office winners, nor did they win any awards, nor did they come with a big cast, etc.  I just like them and wouldn't mind watching them over and over again!

I would like to point out that most people won't include any comedies as one of their favourite movies, but I do enjoy watching them, especially "The Wrong Box".  I was debating with myself whether I should put down Peter Seller's "Pink Panther" and his "The Party", but I still like "The Wrong Box" better.  When I write about "The Wrong Box", I will bring up more good comedies worth mentioning!

First I name all 50 of them here; then I will introduce them one by one later...  Some of them were previously mentioned in this Blog, then I will just supply with the link to that page.
