I always consider myself a pretty fake film student because there are so many films that everybody’s watched but I haven’t. It’s almost as if I got some of hidden pleasure everytime I hear something along the lines of “WHAT?!?!?! (horrible shock look) You haven’t seen The Godfather? And you study film? How can you?”. In order to avoid this, this year I am going to watch at least 25 of those films everybody thinks I should have watched years ago. I am sure the world will be a better, more pleasant place once this has been done. Here is my list.
- The Godfather
- Star Wars
- The Shawshank Redemption
Chinatown- Taxi Driver
- Alien
- Star Trek
- Goodfellas
- City of God
- Requiem for a Dream
- A Clockwork Orange
- Blade Runner
- Brazil
Se7en- Terminator
- Kill Bill
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- Down By Law
The Dark Knight- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest- Reservoir Dogs
- Superman
- Untouchables
