From Movie Lover to Movie Buff to Cinephile

For "movie lovers" to up their game to "movie buff," watching all types of genres is essential, including seeing silent movies, foreign films, short films, and so on. Also, a movie buff has knowledge of film terminology and filming techniques for making movies.
Cinephiles are on the next level, having the same knowledge as movie buffs, but also knowing film history and film theory. For example, cinephiles know the history of film movements, such as how Italian neorealism influenced French New Wave.
Page 1 is a selection of popular films that all dedicated movie lovers have seen.
Page 2 is for movie buffs and lists a variety of genres and films with outstanding filming techniques.
Page 3 is for cinephiles who watch everything - the good and the bad movies.
As the saying goes, a person must see the bad films to fully understand and appreciate the good ones.
