Unable to bear my friends' begging any longer, I have gone ahead and compiled a film buff's list of "must see" great films, sure to entertain and inspire film connoisseurs and beginners alike. Not every great film is on this list, but I'm updating all the time. A new list will be coming out soon. Please don't hesitate to send me your suggestions! In the mean time, see as many of the films below as you can. Check them off as you go, you have the rest of your life to work on it. Have fun!!! See films!!!
