Errol Morris’ Top 10 Films
Gina Telaroli March 25, 2008 | 12:20 pm EST

Back in 2002, film magazine Sight and Sound had an impressive list of directors name their top 10 films of all time. One of those directors was Errol Morris, the man behind the upcoming Standard Operating Procedure. His list was one of the more unique and I am happy to say features my all time favorite film (number 10 for him) and a film by one of my most favorite directors (his number 2). I’ve always been of the mindset that the best way to learn about cinema is to find out what films the folks you admire like.

So if you’re looking for a good film to watch, check out his list below and if you’re feeling in an especially cinematic mood and see what the other directors thought. Also below Errol’s list is my own (although it’s always changing!) - make yours and leave it in the comments section. If I get enough comments I’ll post other’s choices next week:
