Show notes
We all know a good film when we see one. And we sure as hell know a bad one when we see one. But some films go deeper than that. Some films challenge the boundaries of good or bad. For some films, quality doesn’t matter, especially if they don’t age well. Some films are not about the content, the acting, the dated SFX. Some films transcend that to become part of our very being, the films that define and route us in a moment from our past.
Yes, today we’re not talking about the greatest films of all time (although we may think they are), today we’re talking about the films that mean something to us. The films that transport us to a time in our lives when they meant something to us. Today Andi and I look at our very personal Top 5 Films, what they mean to us, and why quality is irrelevant when a film is part of your soul.
