as said below, it wasn't just that for me, it's that she hasn't watched any of those three. - b. Nov 9, 13:19
I disagree. I think that's damn near required in order to apply. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 9, 12:58 9
- but that isn't what you study. i had an entire semester on Fassbinder. I did a British New Wave course. French cinema. - Andie Nov 9, 13:06 8
  - I am not seeing how the movie that generally is considered the best of all time couldn't be required. - Mel Profit Nov 9, 13:13 3
    - right, but there is no class that is called "the best and most popular movies of all time" -- (edited) - Andie Nov 9, 13:15 2
      - Makes sense. I get what your saying. It is the best example of a few things in cinema so I would think it could get added in a few courses. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 9, 13:24
      - oh yah, I didn't mean she would have seen any of the listed ones in school, more that, as someone who chose that major, she hadn't seen any of them. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 13:20
  - yeah, exactly....nm - x Nov 9, 13:08
  - I was considering adding Amelie to my list above -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 13:07 2
    - okay, but not that kind of French cinema. :) - Andie Nov 9, 13:08 1
      - boring! - Beryllium Nov 9, 13:09
OK. Top 5 films that all film majors should have seen. - Beryllium Nov 9, 12:57 5
- the real ones are more like: Triumph of the Will, Citizen Kane (for real), Battleship Potemkin, M... -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 13:14 1
  - The Bicycle Thief is another one everyone has to watch... -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 13:14
- narrowing it to 5 is *really* hard!... - x Nov 9, 13:06 1
  - I agree with your general thoughts....but I think you have to have an animated film in there.... - Walt_Disney Nov 9, 13:16
- The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins would be in both for me. -- nm - Loyola Nov 9, 13:05
