I had some time; I made this video.  These are 100 films (mostly American) that I think everyone needs to see on their journey towards film competency.  THIS IS NOT A LIST OF THE GREATEST FILMS EVER.  It is a list of some of the greatest films ever, films that I think everyone should see before they start making claims that they are true movie-buffs.  It is set to the sublime score of John Williams’ Schindler’s List.  Please excuse two typos in the titles of the film.

For further reference, check out my Top 300 films countdown video list.  This is more of an exhaustive list, though it still not perfect, complete, or in fine order by any stretch of the imagination.  The reality is that the best list around on this blog is not in video form at all.  Rather, it is in spreadsheet form, and can be found here.
