IF you care about film, you will watch Jean-Luc Godard. Everything we love about movies comes from Godard. (Of course there are others in the pantheon: Eisenstein, Lang, Welles.)

Godard said that it is more important to try new things and fail than to keep doing the same things over and over again. This is an important philosophy in any artform. His films are essays on life and film, and let's not forget the beautiful Anna Karina, who is in some of his best films.

check these out:
Alphaville
Pierrot Le Fou (Perry the Fool)
Contempt
My Life to Live
Week End
Le Petit Soldat (The Little Soldier)
The Riflemen
Band of Outsiders
Made in USA
A Woman is a Woman
Breathless
