12 on the scale from 1 to 10
List of movies which I rate 12 on the scale from 1 to 10 (there are no other ratings higher than 10). They are the movies which are of exceptional artistic quality (in my opinion, of course) and deeply influenced me (or at least my movie tastes). The order is approximately the reversed order in which I watched these movies.
The list is a snapshot taken at December 31, 2013. I will not add movies I saw later, and will not reflect changes in my ratings.
