User:Ssven2/List of must watch films

Here is a list of films that should not be missed. There are many more, but from what I have seen thus far, these are my pick. I use this list to remind myself which films I've watched so I can work on their Wikipedia articles. I include my opinions of the films, so I can prioritise working on the articles of films I really enjoyed or of films that elicited a strong reaction from me like sadness or anger or joy or pride.
