Hello Wikipedians, I am Chimeric Glider. Before I registered as a user, I edited Wikipedia with IP addresses anonymously on various articles. I enjoy adding new contents and improve this encyclopedia. I understand that it is not always accurate, but arguably it excellently gives a general summary of each subjects, which makes research on the Internet a lot easier.

I generally edit articles on movies, everyday life, books, and a little bit of politics.

 * Sergio Leone - Western, sounds interesting
 * George Lucas
 * Martin Scorsese
 * Stanley Kubrick
 * Oliver Stone - my appreciation of him hinges on next year's W.

Ones that are bold are some of the best.

Also there is another one I cannot simply juxtipose with the others in the list, because it is just extraordinary and transcendent. That is, The Song of Bernadette.

Controversial films
The films below may be controversial or propagandistic. I recommend them for their artistic values, however. This does not mean I endorse the all the views presented in those films.


 * Triumph of the Will
 * What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Silent films
I am not a big fan of silent films, as the absence of dialogue kinda irks me. Nevertheless there are several elegant pieces of works in the silent film era that stand out as the classics of that period.

 * Intolerance (film) (but NOT Birth of a Nation)
 * Tillie's Punctured Romance
