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.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
You've always been crazy, this is just the first chance you've had to express yourself.
— Louise Sawyer, Thelma & Louise
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Seeing a murder on television can … help work off one’s antagonisms. And if you haven’t any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some.
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
— Emily Dickinson, If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

These directors are supplemented by other editor's suggestions on my talk page. When I get to see their films more I may put them in the above list. But as of now, they stay here.
- Sam Peckinpah (said to be "revisionist" Wester, I will be glad to check out his work)
- Sergio Leone - Western, sounds interesting
- George Lucas
- Martin Scorsese
- Stanley Kubrick
- Oliver Stone - my appreciation of him hinges on next year's W.
Recommended viewing
The list will be expanded.
Ones that are bold are some of the best.
- Apocalypse Now
- Apocalypto
- Atlantis: The Lost Empire
- Control
- The Exorcist
- Forrest Gump
- Ghost
- Matrix
- Magnum Force
- North by Northwest
- Panic Room
- Pan's Labyrinth
- Thelma and Louise
- Virgin Suicides
- Waking Life
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.

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.
Film articles to edit

Films to watch
Here is the films I plan to see in the future. In the editing process, when I find movies that are likely to be good, I will add them here.
