The Core
There is one book that changed my perspective to cinema. It made me understand movies in a way that is sharp, deep and analytical. The book is. A List: The National Society Of Film Critics' 100 Essential Films. I encourage every young film lover to start with this book and its list.
The beautiful journey continued thereafter with two books/collections: The New York Times Book of Movies: The Essential 1,000 Films to See and the 4 volumes series of The Great Movies from the late Roger Ebert (total 379 films according to my count).
These three lists are authoritative, comprehensive and meticulously selected. All these three collections are loaded with movies’ reviews for each selected movie; the continuous read will slowly feed your brain with all the knowledge you need about making movies and reading movies.
In this list, I simply collected the films that were mentioned in all these three lists. Most of them are pure joy to watch, but all are essentials to build the taste of a connoisseur..
