While good films most of the ones you added are incredibly slow and sure to turn off someone trying to get into it. While I wouldn't want to do without these slow and thoughtful films, I am of the opinion that movies that choose to convey their themes through fun and excitement are far more valuable. The Iliad and Odyssey are fun as shit and that's a big reason why they've lasted.

Never seen Rules of the Game though so thanks for the rec, I'll check it out.

>>9814918
I chose everything based on accessibility, critical reception, and diversity. All the video games are available to Mac, PC, Linux, are included in many top lists, but are also games I've played and know are good. Super Meat Boy was the indie game choice. Mr Bligh's Bad Language is a narrative nonfiction history told as a play; it's not a troll, it's the choice of theater. The Turin Horse was the foreign film choice. Counter Strike was the multiplayer game choice. And so on.

>> No.9814992

>>9814977
You're insane if you consider Mr Bligh's Bad Language essential, and not Don Quixote and certain other works. Not to mention Republic and Nicomachean Ethics are enough when it comes to the greeks.
Cave Story is a way better indie choice because it's an actual good game and the most impactful and essential when it comes to indies.
The multiplayer choice should be Unreal Tournament or Quake 3, and you're missing Doom 1.

>> No.9815018

I've never read Don Quixote. The list is also based on what I've consumed and know is good, so maybe as I get older it'll get better; it was only a few weeks ago that I started on it.

>removed Half Life 2 (don't know what to replace it with yet; will take me awhile to think about)
