OK. Sure.

Downvote away. And this will keep happening. Grats on that.

Keep fighting with reality, let's see how that goes.

Teenager in the US at the same time.

Yep, this is exactly what we did with our 8-bit machines and modems at the time.

We were global even then.

EDIT- LOL. I guess the HN downvoters have proof this isn't what we were doing back then???

Start firing people for screwing up and their peers will learn not to screw up.

Here's what I consider a balanced response- prosecute him for some kind of hacking crime, and at the same time fire the system administrators for gross incompetence.

I wonder if the same applies to say... Google. That they're kept afloat by less than 1% of their users.

Well, no. You stated it was list of films someone enjoyed.

But that's not what it is. It's a list that one of the top living film directors on the planet thinks that directing students at one of the leading film schools in the world should watch.

That's a different thing entirely.

Each one of these films has things directors can learn from by just watching them. Film being a visual medium and all.

Sure, some lectures can provide context, but the movies themselves are the actual content.

Better received by who? For film students, the films themselves are the information needed.

Not really. If these movies don't stimulate your directorial imagination, a few words aren't going to help.

I'd counter that if you watch the films on this list and don't understand why Lee included them, you're not likely to be a good film director.

No French cinema? Breathless is on there, as well as 400 Blows and Day For Night.

Lee picked it because it's exceptionally good cinema.
