Human beings have been telling stories since first gathering around primitive flames long ago. It’s one of our defining qualities.

We create fiction to express something about reality. We channel thoughts and experiences into narratives, trimming and augmenting emotions and events to help us cope with the already dramatic nature of our existence.

Films are one of the most powerful mediums for telling these stories, works utilizing the combined might of music, physical setting, and human performance presented in uniquely selected windows of time and space.

Below is a list of cinematic pieces favorited by He Who Watches. If you enjoy contemplating science, philosophy, and the human condition, perhaps you will favorite them too.

As is the case with all forms of art and ideas, consider embracing each of these narratives absent any preexisting information regarding the details of their creation or the opinions they might have generated in others.

Fascinating things happen when we surrender to the unknown. Dive in.
