This section consolidates all of
TSPDT's film recommendations, most of which you can also
view via our director pages, found
here and
here.
These are - in essence - our favourite 2,500-plus films, and we encourage you
to seek as many of them out as possible. Our recommended viewing section contains many
acclaimed classics (that you'd expect to see on many
all-time-best lists,
and do), but it also contains plenty of neglected films
(including Delmer Dave's public domain-crucified The Red
House, George Archainbaud's The Lost Squadron,
and Frank Perry's The Diary of a Mad Housewife).
Films that we passionately believe deserve their 'day in the sun.' |

All films listed in
this section have either been seen by the makers of this website
or chosen by contributors to TSPDT whose opinions we
value and trust. We
are not critics, just buffs, and it's fair to say that this list
- due to the fact that there are still many
remarkable films (by reputation) that we haven't seen - will continue to grow steadily.
All up, between us, we have seen over 8,000 films to date. |

Q: Are some of your
recommendations more 'solid' than others? A: Yes |
|
| |
HR - Highly Recommended
(Masterpiece/Near-Masterpiece) We classify 'highly recommended' films as being
superb cinematic
achievements. These films are either flawless or near-flawless
entertainments and/or artistic triumphs that occupy a special
place in our lives. This is our pantheon, it is our canon,
call it what you like. These films shouldn't be missed. |
|
| |
R - Recommended (Strong
cinematic effort/Better Than Good) We classify 'recommended' films, in most
cases, as strong and important cinematic efforts that probably -
for us, at least - don't quite achieve the resonance or artistic
profundity of a 'highly recommended' film (although many
come very close, and after another viewing - who knows - may be elevated to
'highly recommended' status). These films should also not
be missed. |
|

|
| |
You'll also note
that on our individual director pages
(Directors
A-L;
Directors M-Z)
and Recent Viewings
section (home page) that we also classify films as Worth a Look (good); Approach with Caution (average; not great,
but not a disaster); Dud
(A disaster). These films are not included in our Recommended
Viewing section. |

Q: I'd like to
sample some of your recommendations, but I'm a little uncertain
as to where to start. Could you please maybe recommend those
films that you consider absolute must-sees? A: You mean like we
used to? OK,
you win. |
