If it wouldn't be at the top of the list when you average it's quality AND popularity, it DOES NOT belong in this thread. So I don't fucking want your fucking Lebanese film about a single mother coping with the stress of a patriarchal system and how that relates to raising a militant son. I'm talking "The Godfather", "The Matrix", "Forrest Gump". I'm looking to watch some of the most influential films ever made over the next week. Fucking give it to me, any genre, any date, fucking do it.

Indiana Jones
Strangers on a Train had a huge impact on my appreciation of beautiful shots and camerawork

Well fuck. Not everybody has seen everything. He shouldn't have name called though, that was naughty.
why do people like the Godfather so much? how do they even hold it as high as something like Stalker or Lawrence of Arabia?

8 1/2 makes Citizen Kane look like a Marvel movie you underage.
If you've never heard of it though, don't watch it. You'd probably say "the story didn't make sense" and you "didn't get it."

Sorry I haven't heard of every film in existence. This is why I made the thread brainlet.

It's not even an obscure movie; it's a hallmark of essential European films. I'm no brainlet here.
Don't watch it as your first Fellini movie though; start with La Strada. Fellini is my favorite director of all time but 8 1/2 may be rather hard to get if you don't understand his style going in.
I'll pick favorites out of my list of personal essentials that don't look like I'm just trolling;
A Man for All Seasons
The Fog of War
Catch Me If You Can
Funny Games
The Big Lebowski
