Films That Should Be on Everyone's Movie Bucket List

These are films that you may have already seen, but if not they are films that everyone should have on their movie bucket lists. Of course we say everyone, but what we really mean is that we've covered a wide range of film genres as best we could, from silent titles to modern future classics and have made sure to not ignore foreign language titles. It was also made so that franchise movies were limited to just a single title to represent the whole series.
