Tony and I love movies. Ok, to be honest we are probably a
bit obsessive. Between the two of us we have seen a terrifying amount of
movies, including a majority of the American Film Institute’s top 100 movies of
all time. What we have come to realize is that there are way more quality
movies out there than we will ever have the time to see. That got us thinking
(always a dangerous idea) and we have decided to compile a list of “essentials”.
We are working together to come up with 5 movies from every major movie genre
that encapsulate the essence of that genre. If you could only see 5 movies in a
genre, these would be the movies to see. After seeing the essentials you will have a firm grasp of that slice of movie history. Over the next few weeks we will roll them out
genre by genre. So, if you are looking to broaden your cinematic experience
this is the place to start. Also, we would love any feedback you have on movies
that you think we snubbed and should absolutely be a part of an essentials
list. (Anyone ever listing any movie from the Twilight series will be banned
from feedback eternally)
This should be good. I have some in mind that are personal favorites. Not sure if they belong on an essentials list for everyone, but I will share them as you and Tony unleash your lists.
