Edward's Approach
These aren't the usual "masterworks" everyone knows.
Most lists: Tokyo Story, Citizen Kane, The Godfather
Edward's list: Speed Racer, Not Reconciled, Visitor Q
Films chosen for what they teach about cinema, not their fame.
(2/5)
Why These Films Matter
Each film teaches something unique about cinema.
Speed Racer: A masterclass in color theory
Not Reconciled: Revolutionary narrative structure
Popular doesn't always mean pedagogically valuable.

Content Notice
Some films are challenging by design.
These films may be slow, difficult, or contain disturbing content.
But challenging doesn't mean worthless—they teach us about cinema.
