It is recently Dakota’s birthday, and we continue the trend of picking a category and choosing our favourites from it. In 2020 there was 114: 30 Films in 30 Years, in 2021 it was 157: Best Films Through the Decades in 2022 it was 199: Best Films by Genre and in 2023 it was 243: Best Films By Language.
This year we are continuing 2022’s theme of doing ten more genres by going through ten different film genres and name our favourite films from each of them! See our picks below (Dakota’s first, then Bil’s)!
