🎬 Collector’s Question:

Do you have a favourite genre of film — something that makes you want to watch anything in that category, no matter what?

🍿 Horror that keeps you up at night?
🎭 Giallo with all the suspense and style?
🚀 Sci-fi that blows your mind with world-building?
🎥 Or maybe something obscure like animation or Eurocrime?

💬 Share your genre obsession in the comments — and maybe a title that made you fall in love with it!

🌍 Big Question Time

We’re 25 years into the 21st century — so I want to know:

👉 What do you think is the best film of this century so far… and why?

🎥 Maybe it’s something epic like There Will Be Blood or Parasite.

💥 Maybe a genre-defining blockbuster like The Dark Knight.

🌌 Or maybe a personal favorite that doesn’t make the “best of” lists but means the world to you.

💬 Drop your pick (and your reasoning) in the comments — let’s see what rises to the top!
