100 Films to Watch Before Going to Film School - HELP WANTED!

If all things go to plan, around this time next year I’ll be shipping off to study film at university.

I feel a little under prepared as a film buff in relation to my future peers and so I decided to start a little project for myself, ‘100 Films to Watch Before Going to Film School’, catchy title eh?

Now this is where you come in, I’d like some help in compiling a list of films that I need to see of the most pivotal movies in film history, ones that for example may have changed the game all together or are simply just a must watch.

I’ll then watch them, and post a review once or twice a week. So hopefully by the time I’m off, I’ll have my very own list and be able to hold my own in discussions!

Time period is no barrier, nor language, nor is genre (although I do tend to favour comedies over action). So let loose!

Here's a few I have seen;

• A special screening of Apocalypse Now with a Q&A afterwards featuring the one and only Walter Murch (and then met him AND SHOOK HIS HAND AND ASKED HIM A QUESTION) so that’s pretty cool in my book.
• All the Star Wars franchise
• Every Edgar Wright film/series (except his very first film)
• Every Wes Anderson
• A few Tarantinos such as Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained

I could list the films that I’ve seen for ages but perhaps it’s best I tell you a few of which I haven’t (a little shamefully, I’ll admit).

I have yet to see films such as;

• The Godfather(s)
• Battleship Potemkin
• Reservoir Dogs
• Any Kill Bill(s)
• Any of the Scream franchise
• Nosferatu, Metropolis
• I never finished the Lord of the Rings or Hobbit franchises…

Okay wow I really need to watch more films.

So in the words of a very bad-ass space lady, “Help me, fellow Steemians. You’re my only hope.” or something like that anyways ;) Join me on this quest!

Thanks for reading my post! If you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments below, I’ll credit you when I use your film in my future posts!
