This is a clone of a list I made for a friend who expressed an interest in getting more good films under her belt. Many of these are just plain entertaining, others are essentials. There is a nice balance of english and foreign language films, genres, and tone.
Pssst, want to check out the So you want to get into film? list in our new look?
