Anonymous asked: Stumbled upon this by accident- inspiring stuff. As someone who has just started to take cinema seriously, I was wondering what your essential films are.
Hey Anonymous,
Thanks for reading! Wow, that’s a tough question. There are lists and lists of essential films made by film scholars that are much more qualified than I am. However, what I can do is give you a list of a few movies that changed the way I watched film. Hopefully they can do the same for you.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey - Stanley Kubrick
- Blade Runner - Ridley Scott
- Breathless - Jean-Luc Godard
- The Conversation - Francis Ford Coppola
- Sans Solei - Chris Marker
- Shadows - John Cassavetes
- The Thin Red Line - Terrence Malick
- Two-Lane Blacktop - Monte Hellman
- Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock
- And the works of Stan Brakhage
