Here are 13 of my current super favorites, but they shift around all the time. They're all pretty old or pretty recent. I skipped over the 70s and 80s because they're not that hard to discuss. You've got Coppola, Chinatown, Kubrick, Gilliam, Buckaroo Banzai, Death Wish 3, Evil Dead, the rise of indie film, and tons of shit. But here are 13 of my favorites before and after then.
8 1/2 by Fellini (1963).
Week-End by Godard (1967).
Un Chien Andalou by Buñuel (1929).*
Battleship Potemkin by Eisenstein (1925).*
Kikujiro no natsu by Kitano (1999).
Blue by Kieślowski (1993).
Citizen Kane by Welles (1941).
Happiness of the Katakuris by Miike (2001).
Forbidden Zone by Elfman (1980).
Children of Men by Cuarón (2006).
One Week by Keaton (1920).*
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920).*
Night of the Hunter by Laughton (1955).
* = it's in the public domain, so it's up on Google Video for free and totally mandatory if you want be a film freak. |
Ooooo...I might need to do this. Link me please. I'm lazy.

I used to just go to Google Video and type in "public domain" to see what they had, because a lot of the films will mention that they're in the public domain somewhere in the description. But after some film classes in which I skipped a lot of the screenings and watched them at home, I found a lot of them there at Google, and even more on YubeTube. Now the ones on the Tube are even better since they have the playlist function, so you can see a movie split into 10 or 20 parts, but just hit play all at the beginning.
I'll compile a bunch soon and put them in a new thread with links in chronological order and stuff. It'll be a big help to bookmark it for myself so I can have it as a resource for my last semester, and would be great to have here for the other film buffs to help add entries and discuss/debate stuff.
