I hadn't updated this in a long while, and now apparently you can't add more than 1000 items to a list without buying Pro. So I guess I'm no longer updating this list.

My list of all-time classics, genre-definers, and can't-miss films & TV series. Whenever anybody asks me, "What should I watch next?" this list is my response.

While not everything here rates a 10/10 (though nothing falls below a 7/10 by my reckoning), each entry is at least an important cultural touchstone or an ambitious artistic achievement that is worthy of your valuable time.
