Realising how many great classic films I had never seen that I really should have, I sat down at the start of the year and wrote a list of 105 films that I had to watch, that everyone who loves cinema should watch, in 2016. The list was by no means definitive, there are still loads more films to watch, and many that you might like that I’ve already seen.
Below is a list of the films, in no particular order. If you click on the titles, as they become live, they will take you to the articles about why they are must see movies. Maybe you’ll be inspired to watch a few of them too. Enjoy!
