100 films worth seeing
I'm not claiming this is the best films ever, just movies I found worth watching. Some amazing well known titles, some less known well worth a watch.
Sorted by year. Just one film per director, otherwise there would be too many films from Kurosawa, Bergman and Ozu on this list.
