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."
