One day i shall get to this properly.

One tough one is 'independent' cinema. Indies. 'art house'.


I am very much into deepest explotrations of the human condition and looking subtly at all of existence, but deciding which are the very best of more art house is perhaps hard to do. I personally agree one of the best films of all time is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Dielman,_23_quai_du_Commerce,_1080_Bruxelles  as just voted by Sight and Sound

But i think i can be a little more precise when it comes to looking for the very best in film about how to overcome injustice. Or 'give it tothe man', but it cannot be too dour....

I have scoured the cannon for some years for those that maybe elevate the watcher into caring and maybe even doing...

I think these are some of the very best.

However i think inteligent comedy is also so much part of it. And in my book this gets about top spot.

And if you ask me one of the very best of all time about all being pride, ego, cant and vanity...and nyone can make up (a thing the seekers of 'justice' seem to forget too often, methinks), must be.
