So here it comes… My personal list of the top films of all times. The order is just roughly in the correct hierarchical order. Especially all films with rating 3.0 are in no particular order.
3.0 = Very good movie, well executed, entertaining to watch
3.5 = Great movie, well executed, contains some level of previously unseen concept or a light metalevel or a light reflection of cultural or social life
4.0 = Excellent movie, well executed, contains maybe a level of previously unseen concepts or a philosophic metalevel or a well formulated reflection of cultural or social life
4.5 = Brilliant movie, well executed, contains probably a level of previously unseen concepts, has at least one level of philosophic meta meaning, is a clear reflection of our present times and society as well as a clear reflection of cultural and social life.
5.0 = Superbe movie, well executed, has levels of previously unseen concepts, has several levels of philosophic meta meanings, is a clear reflection of our present times and society and has a deep reflection of cultural and social life, has influenced or will probably heavily influence future film projects, has had or will most probably have a recognizable, direct impact on our real world
