A concise and carefully chosen list of movies that everyone should see... at least I think so
It is my hope that in this list will be contained ONLY movies for which watching them will be a rewarding experience for your investment of time.
Let me start by stating that I am a 35 year-old man and not some high school kid who thinks that Batman is the greatest movie of all time. I apologize for starting off on a negative note, but in searching for new quality movies to watch I have come across a lot of lists containing movies that are just not for the thoughtful... for which after watching (all or part) I felt that my time had been poorly spent.
It is my intention that this list will contain no movies for which after watching them, you will feel that you have wasted your time. On the contrary, I want to provide you with a list of movies that are truly worth seeing. I limit this list to those movies that I think everyone should see. While this is of course my own opinion of what a list of good movies should contain, I think that you will find that my list is solid.
The list is in not in any particular order...
I make no effort to rank the movies, because I see little value in doing so. Who cares if you or I think that The Godfather is better than Shawshank (Personally, I thought Shawshank was just ok, and will not be adding it to my list).
This is not every movie that I like, but a select few, limited to those I think everyone will enjoy. I am by no means an expert on film. I do think that everyone can recognize quality in anything however. I believe that this recognition of what is or contains quality and how much is not culturally biased or the result of experience as many would suggest, but rather is built into human beings. It becomes muddled by experience, but it is fundamental.
Feel free to suggest movies I left off or may have forgotten. The list is not complete by any means. These are movies that come to mind as I am making the list. Feel free to tell me that some of these movies are no good. Feel free to tell me that I have no idea what I am talking about.
For some of the movies I have made comments about the movie, those comments appearing below the movie's description.
