100 Essential Movies That EVERYONE Must See

There are so many excellent films that I didn't put on this list as I capped it at 100. I highly recommend you explore foreign cinema as that is a whole other world of film you probably didn't know about. I've tried to represent the the classics that everyone loves as well as the under-seen foreign classics (e.g. Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles). Enjoy! :)
