Just favourites, nowhere near an exhaustive list.
+ 3 great river/waterway journeys; Apocalypse Now, L'Atalante, Aguirre Wrath of God
Badlands is my favorite film of all time, so loved its inclusion. Can't argue with any of the ones I've seen from this list: Paris, Texas, Ulysses' Gaze, Bonnie and Clyde, Paper Moon, Motorcycle Diaries, etc, are all films I could watch over and over.
