What films MUST I ABSOLUTELY see in order to be able to consider myself truly well-versed? And I do mean the BARE MINIMUM.Don't fucking say salo, I've seen salo already. And The Holy Mountain. I'm not asking for the word of god, but rather a creative exercise here. If you could make a list of less than a dozen titles that, upon watching to completion, would transition someone from numbskull to midwit with promotion opportunity to pseud with a FIRM understanding of kino, what films would you suggest?
Call it a pleb answer but I think the imdb 250 list is a good place to start
Tspdt or sight and sound top 250 (2012 edition, 2022 was a bit too political).
