                        Great lists: I'm excited for the book recommendations, in particular

                        Films: after the first three, the rest are listed in no particular order

                        *From Pole to Equator - Yervant Gianikian (Experimental, Ethnographic)
                        *A Brighter Summer Day - Edward Yang, 4 hour masterpiece. Amazing
                        *Still Life (三峡好人) - Jia Zhangke


                        High & Low - Kurosawa
                        Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors - Sergei Parajanov
                        Dead Birds - Ethnographic Film (Robert Gardner)
                        Apollo Lives - Stan Brakhage (I saw this accompanied by two pianists, which was perfect.)
                        Automatic Writing - William Kentridge
                        Andrei Rublov, Stalker - Tarkovsky
                        Frederic Wiseman - selections
                        Chris Marker - honestly, all.
                        On the Waterfront - Elia Kazan
                        Night of the Iguana - John Huston
                        Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, The White Diamond, Lessons of Darkness - Herzog
                        Agnes Varda - selections
                        Malle - documentaries

                        Well, this is a start. I need to stop before I get too obsessed with perfecting this list as it reflects "what I'm for" at this very moment.

                          Haha I know Fuuma's post was ages ago and likely no longer relevant, but a bit of <3 for the fact that a Johnnie To film made your list.

                          Though I prefer Election and possibly Election 2 and Exiled more... The Mission is fun too.

                          I don't know if you watch much HK cinema these days, but "Let the Bullets Fly" was great too.
