To ask what are your must see/bucket list films?

[OnlyByGrace]

I feel quite uncultured when it comes to films as I usually stick to the same cheesy rom coms . With the lockdown I have a lot of spare time so I thought it would be good to finally branch out a bit and watch some of those must see films that are often talked about and so I would love recommendations for films you think are must see or films that have resonated and stuck with you over time.

Thank you!
