study some critics and their "best" lists.
I think you'll find pretty unanimous consensus on perhaps 500 or so films with critics shuffling them around in order of excellence.
There are lots of ways to skin this cat... you could also look at different countries. Russia (and its former republics), Brazil, Korea, Japan, Canada, India, China, France, England, Italy, Australia... and many more have excellent film traditions.
Looking at directors from these countries are another way to select films.
I'll offer one little gem which I saw at a festival years ago (1998 though, to underline the film's quality, it seems like a few weeks ago) in Portland and which has stood up for a second viewing extremely well: "The Interview."
It stars the fellow who's the nemesis in "Matrix," Hugo Weaving.
His performance is brilliant in a thriller that should be as well known as "Se7en."

  ***Russia (and its former republics),
  Just for the sake of accuracy... you mean the USSR, not Russia. While Russia, being a federation, itself contains 21 Republics, none of them to my knowledge left any movies heritage.

    directors sprung entirely from... originality? More's the wonder.

      Georgia and Kazakhstan used to be the republics in the USSR, just like Russia, not the Russian republics.
      As far as their cultures are concerned, they both had rich ones, completely unrelated to the Russian culture.
      Kazahkstan is not really known for its advanced culture, although its old tradition is still there. Georgia, on the other hand, has one of the most colorful, lively, beautiful, rich cultures in the world.
