I am something of a film fan and have over the years
made a study of the subject. I thought it worthwhile making a list of films
that everyone who is really interested in film ought to see. I’m not going to include
films that are well known and that are frequently on television. Rather my idea
is to include those films you might not have seen and perhaps might not have
heard of. I will include links to IMDB. Nearly all the films I have listed are
highly rated. The list is mainly from the earliest to the latest. There are
quite a lot of foreign language titles. I list few recent films as they are well
known. How many have you seen?
