DISCLAIMER: I am fully aware that a subreddit exists for the sole purpose of giving and receiving movie recommendations, and in fact, I already posted this on that subreddit as well. However, I’m still posting this here because I feel like this subreddit is more “film” oriented and in general, has a more serious vibe when it comes to how the subreddit approaches movies. (I’m majoring in film is why I’m looking for more important recommendations than just casual enjoyment.)
Despite the fact that I’m a film major, I’m still very much one of those people who won’t turn on a movie because I feel like I don’t have time, and then proceed to watch 6 hours of a TV show.
To clarify, I’m not cinematically illiterate and have seen a good amount of the go-to “classics” like The Godfather movies, Rocky, Pulp Fiction, etc. However, I don’t consider myself to be a film buff and I feel like I need to expand the list of movies I’ve seen. I’m basically trying to train myself to become a film buff—to an extent. (I’m not trying to be the stereotypical pretentious film major bro that glorifies Quentin Tarantino.)
So, long story short, give me your best recommendations of movies that either you as in individual, or the general public would consider to be a must-see, important, etc. to help me fight imposter syndrome

Why in the world would you major in film if you don't like movies? That sounds like a waste of a lot of time and money.
