Hoffmanns Erzählungen
Romero ranked his top ten films of all time for the 2002 "Sight &amp; Sound" Greatest Films Poll. They are "The Brothers Karamazov", "Casablanca", "Dr. Strangelove", "High Noon", "King Solomon's Mines", "North by Northwest" (a film on which a teenaged Romero worked as a gofer), "The Quiet Man", "Repulsion", "Touch of Evil" and "The Tales of Hoffmann". Romero listed the films in alphabetical order, with special placement given to Michael Powell's "The Tales of Hoffmann", which he cites as "my favorite film of all time; the movie that made me want to make movies".
