From The Magnificent Ambersons to Goodfellas, these are Guillermo del Toro's favorite movies.
Every 10 years, the British film magazine Sight and Sound has a poll where certain highly-regarded film experts - directors and film critics - are asked for a list of their favorite movies. From the data collected, a top 100 list is then decided, with the top film ultimately holding the title of Sight and Sound's greatest for a minimum of 10 years.
9 'Nazarin' Perhaps the least well-known movie counted among del Toro's favorites would be Nazarin, a Mexican film from the late 1950s. Its director, however, is quite well-known among film buffs, being the singular Luis Buñuel, who's most famous for dreamlike and surrealist films like 1929's infamous Un Chien Andalou and 1972's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.
That being said, this psychological thriller about a young woman feeling deeply suspicious about her uncle being up to something was also Hitchcock's personal favorite of the movies he directed, so maybe del Toro's onto something. And either way, even if other people might list other Hitchcock movies as being better, Shadow of a Doubt is still very good, and without a doubt is worth checking out for fans of the master of suspense.
If it's definable as an alien invasion movie, then it's certainly one that takes an unexpected approach towards the sub-genre, being less about fighting aliens and more about trying to communicate with them. For those who want to see a more traditional take on such a premise, Spielberg also directed his take onWar of the Worlds just under 30 years later.
4 'No Country for Old Men' Standing tall as The Coen Brothers' most successful film , No Country for Old Men is a modern Western classic, and features one of the all-time great film villains with Anton Chigurh . He's a man who wants to track down whoever stole a large sum of money from the site of a drug deal gone wrong, and has no hesitation about killing those who get in his way.
2 'City Lights' A silent film classic that's as funny as it is heartwarming and romantic, City Lights could well be Charlie Chaplin's greatest accomplishment as a filmmaker/actor. It tells the story of a man falling in love with a blind flower girl, and sacrificing a great deal to get her the money she needs for an operation that will restore her eyesight.
