Cinephile 101: 10 Movies From Every Decade That All Must See - Page 2

Cinephile 101 is a cinephile/film buff list series, aiming to cover a diverse range of different areas that anyone who claims this distinction should really know their stuff in.
In this entry of the series, we look at 10 movies from every decade of film history that cinephile's ought to have seen. Obviously not the 'only' 10 movies from each decade, just ten essentials picked from a treasure trove of possibilities, with no intention to shaft any classic that wasn't included. There are also five bonus 2020 movies at the end of the list, which may or may not at the end of the decade end up contenders to appear on a list like this, but as of now, they certainly are building the right kind of reputations to be candidates.
