Just got a subscription for the Criterion Channel for my birthday and I'm looking for a kind of general list of the best movies I should watch as somebody looking to begin a more serious journey into film.
Basically what the title says. Like everyone on here I've loved movies my whole life but I've finally decided to make a concerted effort to understand them in a better way and really learn about the medium. I'm not a total newbie but the list of "artistically significant" movies I've seen basically comes down to the top 1 or 2 most famous films of people like Godard, Truffaut, Bergman, Kurosawa, Fellini etc. I've also seen a decent amount of stuff from slightly more prominent filmmakers like Kubrick, Hitchcock and Tarantino, and obviously most of the big blockbuster stuff like MCU Star Wars and Spielberg.
Hopefully it's alright to ask for just a basic watchlist primarily focusing on CC for maybe one or two movies per week, I strongly welcome any and all advice or discussion and thank anyone who contributes in advance.
