But in fact I'm a completist and all 7 are included among the "1001 Films to See Before you Die". So I suffer 6 more because I want to see all the films in the list. Now, despite not enjoying his films (and others in the "1001" list, c'mon Warhol!) I was in fact able to appreciate that he has died and the impact he had made on cinema (whether I enjoyed his work or not). So I suppose I look at "1001 Films" as my "film school" class. (That has been going on for several years now, ha ha — and I'm only just closing out the 1960's.) I'm less film-stupid than I was a few years ago — maybe still not erudite (?) enough to appreciate New Wave though.
