Martin Scorsese, en levande encyklopedi av filmkunskap, listar 85 filmer som han anser att alla aspirerande filmskapare bör se. Det är en jättefin lista med många av de största klassikerna. Jag saknar en del filmer som En kvinnas martyrium och Tokyo Story, men Scorsese kanske har utelämnat många filmer som många filmare och filmstuderande ändå brukar se?
