131 essential films, according to Martin Scorsese
[ad_1]
To be as accomplished and prolific a filmmaker as Martin Scorsese, you have to be as accomplished and prolific a viewer as Martin Scorsese. The Oscar-winning director would be the first to tell you that he’s as much a film student as a creator, and he regularly shares his ever-growing list of essential films that he thinks every true movie buff should see.
In 2012, Fast business published a lengthy interview with Scorsese in which he spoke about his 85 “you must see to know everything about cinema” films. Meanwhile, in 2006, a young filmmaker named Colin Levy wrote to the filmmaker, asking for recommendations on where to start an education on foreign films. Scorsese responded with a list of almost 40 suggestions. And, of course, Scorsese shared even more of his favorite movies with View and sound magazine.
