My personal Top 10 movies

You know, the old-school type of movie that went on for 2-3 hours and then was over. Not like those series on streaming where one episode only lasts <1h but you can binge watch for hours...

Series/Shows

This section used to be about TV series even though I was never really a TV person myself. Before streaming arrived I watched them on DVD. Nowadays I just write down what I want to watch on streaming and then in the dark months I get one or two month of a streaming subscription and binge watch everything form my list.

• Firefly
• Firefly
• Twin Peaks
• Dr. Who
• Peaky Blinders
• Firefly
• Deadwood
• The Wire
• Twin Peaks
• Altered Carbon - which is not that great, really. But they totally nailed the cyberpunk visuals...

Not sure, but I might have forgotten to list Firefly above. So just to be sure: Firefly is a great show. Just in case you missed it..

Directors

• David Lynch
• Stanley Kubrik
• Ken Loach
• Peter Greenaway
• David Cronenberg

• David Fincher
• Oliver Stone

I removed Emir Kusturica from the list for political reasons. However, I still enjoy his films...
