<p>2000 films to see before you die, chronological order. Not a list consisting of my favorite films, but rather the ones that I feel are most essential to a cinephile, be it regarding quality, relevance or even solely popularity. This method results in a list with many films I don't even like, but feel one should give a try if possible. I tried to concile my personal judgement with a more analytical one in most of the choices here, but of course ended up adding many of my favorites too. Obviously there are many essential films I still haven't watched and didn't add - the idea is trying to update this list every one or two years to see how it develops. 27/04/2022</p>
The Hidden Gems of Irreverent Pseuds & Poseurs [Imported]
> The good stuff, the niche stuff; the stuff you watched as a film student and didn't appreciate at the time, the stuff you watched at a long-lost lover's best friend's party, the stuff you caught at 2 am as a seven-year-old and only found again at the age of twenty-three... and so on.
