100 films…Comment distinguer cent films parmi tant  de films vus sur trente-huit ans? Le chiffre devient vite minuscule à mesure qu’on dresse la liste, on fait face à des choix cornéliens éliminant des films qu’on pensaient indispensables chassés par d’autres qu’on ne peut se résoudre à enlever quitte à perdre en « crédibilité ». Alors comment choisir ? Quels critères appliquer pour donner un sens à cette liste ? La liste qui suit n’a pas la prétention d’être celle des 100 meilleurs films de l’Histoire c’est avant tout un reflet de mes goûts du moment et du souvenir d’émotions que ces films ont fait surgir tout au long de ma vie de spectateur.

 ce point rouge indique un film vu en salles à sa sortie
