The ODU Film List
(listed alphabetically)
Below is a list of the world's best films
compiled by the Film Studies Faculty.
If you haven't seen them, now is the time to check them out!
By the way...if your interested here's a link
to the New

Arguably, 1000 Best Films is an easier list than 100 (you
have to make tough choices!) but nonetheless there it is...
