After Watching over 2000 Films, these are my top 70 (Rare Post)

This list is not in any particular order of 1-70 but rather sorted in a comprehensive arrangement divided into (7) genres. As we know, some films can contain multiple genres within a film. Movies have always been an expansive part of my life over the years. As a cinephile with a home film projector; I decided to share my cream of the crop if you will. From a societal perspective, it’s likely that only twelve of these would make it onto a popularized top films list. Do prepare your popcorn and favourite snacks, it’s cinema night!
