>quality of the film, which this list is ostensibly based on. No, the list is of "must watch" films for aspiring artists. Certainly quality will be a factor, but artistic diversity is far more important. A crappy film that demonstrates a unique style of direction is far more important than more high quality examples of common styles. And when seeking artistic diversity, it's not unreasonable to suggest that lack of diversity of artists might indicate oversights.
