My wife is shall we say uncultured when it comes to the medium of film, a form of art that I love and adore, her upbringing was not adequate, for example she hasn’t seen ET, and until recently had not seen the Goonies!!! In the 10 years we have been a couple, I have done my best to open her eyes and educate her, but alas, sometimes it just doesn’t stick.
So I have been compiling a list of movies that I think are essential viewing, so I can try and systematically bring her up to speed. So let me know your thoughts and suggestions on how to refine her educational program.
