Finding the Filmmaker: My Favorite Movies

Mercurial to a fault. Always changing my mind, and fiddling around. But, I truly love all these dearly. Probably best viewed in groups of 4? Maybe 10? Every movie here genuinely matters.

The Return and 2001 are the best things ever, like, no duh. But I wouldn't be me without Inherent Vice and Eyes Wide Shut, so, here we are. Top 20 feels pretty solidified in the choices, but not exactly in the order. How do you pick your favorite child??
