>>1929This is an insanely stupid post, but I will agree with the fact that the amount of films you have seen is relatively vital when it comes to having a "valid" opinion on film, whatever that means. You can't just watch "/film/'s 50 essential's" and expect to have some greater knowledge that those who haven't seen those films don't have. And scope does come from great movies, but you also need mass to be relevant, at least I think so.
I also hope it goes without saying that you shouldn't get your mass from watching every mainstream movie made in recent time.
