This isn't a complete list as that'd be pretty impossible and it's probably subjective, but the items on this list are tv shows of movies that I think you should watch so you have a pretty high chance of knowing what people are talking about when they start talking about visual media. This is an eclectic list - you won't find many places that put American Pie and Amelie on the same page, but this isn't ranked, it's not one genre, and while some of the items listed are culturally significant in the sense of high culture modern-masterpieces, some are slightly ironic but still just as cultural, but rather more of the popular culture strain. If you watch the items on this list, next time somebody quotes "...No I'm not, I'm talking about Anne Frank. She was deaf, dumb and blind." "No she wasn't. Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind.", you'll be able to laugh. When somebody says "I'm Batman" in a really gruff voice, or jokingly suggests taking a neighbour's gnome around the world and sending them photos of it, you'll know exactly what they're referring to. That is the intention of this list.

Best 80s movies. From symbols to unkonws to discover.
Animated feature films by Studio Ghibli. While Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is not officially created by Studio Ghibli, it's success was the reason the studio was founded, so it deserves a spot on the list.

What’s a mindfuck? A movie that plays with your mind, confuses you, and leads you on. It’s not just a movie with a twist ending. Mindfucks are borderline-incoherent, dreamlike, and surreal.
