50 Essential Movies You Can Stream on the Criterion Channel

"To the relief of cinephiles still suffering from withdrawal after FilmStruck's untimely demise last year, the Criterion Channel is alive and well, meaning the majority of the Criterion Collection's catalogue of classic art-house cinema (over 1,000 films) is now available for streaming. But where should you start? In the interest of relative brevity, we chose one masterpiece each from 50 illustrious directors."
(Yes, there's 52 on this list because of the Apu Trilogy)
