Behold, a list of the best films ever made. Just kidding! There is no such thing as "best" in this case. Taste is subjective.
Before you start reading, a few disclaimers:
– These are all great movies, but I won't call them "the best movies ever made." Just movies that are crucial viewing for a ~varied and comprehensive~ film vocabulary. Who decided what was crucial and what wasn't? Me, because I wrote the list. You are welcome to suggest additions (please do!)
– You'll notice that this list does not contain a Harry Potter or Star Wars movie, and that's because trying to pick one from either franchise would get me canceled on the internet.
– I did my best to keep it to one movie per director and per genre, but exceptions were made.
– This list will continue to grow! So, if your favorite movie isn't on here, leave it in the comments, and it might be added very soon!
