Top 20: All-Time Favourite Films From Around The World

Without going through a long rambling article, I am sharing my all-time favourite movies mostly watched multiple times over the last decade up until 2022. I do believe there are probably a lot more gems to watch which may be vying for a few places in this contentious and fiercely competitive catalogue of mine. Having said that, I just want to put it out as a disclaimer that to my little knowledge of cinema, these are the ones that piqued my interest and lingered in my mind the most after watching them. They may not be in any particular order, however, based on certain factors such as rewatch value, relevance, cinematography, and emotional finesse one could appear more engaging than the other in the listing order.
