In my opinion you should first just figure out which genre of movies you enjoy watching, whether it be character studies, westerns, older movies, plot focused movies, etc. Have fun with it and don't worry about becoming a film buff or whatever. Once you get an appreciation for film start watching the old classics like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, etc. If you start out watching older movies just for the sake of film knowledge you, more than likely, won't understand their significance in the film world and you'll probably find them boring. Another great way to get into movies is by reading reviews and watching youtube videos (Roger Ebert's reviews and Every Frame A Painting's videos are my favorites). By listening to people that have a love of film, a bit of their passion will eventually rub off on you. So just enjoy yourself until you get a decent understanding of film and develop visual literacy. If you are truly passionate about film and love it to death, all the knowledge you could ever want will easily come to you through time and experience. I wish you the best of luck on your journey friend.

Also, here's a fantastic list of films recommended by film-god Martin Scorsese

1. Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959) - 9/10
2. The River (Tsai Ming-liang, 1997) - 8/10
3. The Day After (Hong Sang-soo, 2017) - 8/10
4. To Rome with Love (Woody Allen, 2012) - 8/10 - Review
5. Haywire (Steven Soderbergh, 2011) - 6/10
6. Mrs. Hyde (Serge Bozon, 2017) - 6/10

1. The Roaring Twenties (Raoul Walsh, 1939) - 8/10 - the story of the dreams of an era, how they're shaped by circumstance, and how they twist into a nightmare
2. Winter Light (Ingmar Bergman, 1963) - 8/10 - feels more genuinely questioning and plaintive than the Bergmans I have seen (from what I remember)
3. Good Time (Josh Safdie & Benny Safdie, 2017) - 7/10 - I appreciated the psychedelic, abstract visual and sonic scapes here, compared to the more naturalist approach taken by Heaven Knows What
4. Logan Lucky (Steven Soderbergh, 2017) - 6/10 - hilarious, great comedic timing by just about everyone here
5. High Noon (Fred Zinnemann, 1952) - 6/10 - a few great sequences in the last half-hour (the prelude to the end fight scene especially), but the rest of the film is take it or leave it
6. War Machine (David Michôd, 2017) - 6/10 - Review
7. Atomic Blonde (David Leitch, 2017) - 5/10 - disappointingly poorly choreographed action, other than the stairwell scene and the last fight scene

1. L'Enfance nue (Maurice Pialat, 1968) [rewatch] - 10/10 - Review
2. John Wick: Chapter 2 (Chad Stahelski, 2017) - 5/10 - Review

Movies that I have seen in the last 2 weeks:

• Heat (1995, Michael Mann)
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, Stanley Kubrick)
• 12 Angry Men (1957, Sidney Lumet)
• Jaws (1975, Steven Spielberg)
• A Clockwork Orange (1971, Stanley Kubrick)
• Blue Ruin (2013, Jeremy Saulnier)
• The Fugitive (1993, Andrew Davis) [Rewatch]
• 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016, Dan Trachtenberg)
• Moon (2009, Duncan Jones)
• Snowpiercer (2013, Bong Joon-ho)

I've been watching a lot of classics in general so that list is probably a bit stacked near the top. I'm trying to catch up on these kinds of films and I wholeheartedly recommend all of them.

1. Baby Driver (D. Edgar Wright, 2017) - Cutting the music on action, snappy dialogue, an exciting cast, and adrenaline-filled action sequences; the staples of any Wright feature, and they're all here in full force. The climax felt faintly conventional given the usual eccentricity of Wright’s work. 8.5/10

2. Tomka and his Friends (D. Xhanfize Keko, 1977) - This 80 minute film delivers a captivating look into kids fighting back against Nazis. Also gestures a cordial curtsy to the coming-of-age, guilelessly simple storylines of Kiarostami, with a dash of Rossellini inspiration. 7.5/10

3. Okja (D. Bong Joon-ho, 2017) - My brief letterboxd review. 7/10

4. Wonder Woman (D. Patty Jenkins, 2017) - Out from the trash heap that is the DCEU rises its first accomplished film. But it's not without its faults; a couple editing quirks, tactless villains, and Snyder’s muddy aesthetic (though it does look a bit more colorful and, at times, it’s germane to the WWI look). 7/10

5. Knight of Cups (D. Terrence Malick, 2015) - My letterboxd review. 4/10

I think the easiest way to add all your films is to go decade by decade or year by year and just hit the little "I've seen this" icon (the one that looks like an eye) for each movie you've seen. It's not all inclusive, but I've found once I get about 7-10 pages through a decade I really start running out of movies I've heard of.

Also, I followed you because your list of favorite movies is super awesome.

I was around for the last thread, but didn't make my letterboxd until recently. So there's not a whole lot interesting going on there. I do have a list of some of my favorites in ranked order though.

Oh, and btw I had a question about how to add films to my watched (not watch) list, can I import it from somewhere or do I actually have to go and add manually all the films I've seen ?

This is the definition of comedy: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/comedy

Here is the rotten tomatoes page for Lost Highway

Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lost_highway/

Genre: Drama, horror, mystery, suspense.

Surreal does not make a comedy. I am sure there are people that found humor in Requiem For A Dream. That does not make it a comedy.

1. Dracula
2. 1984
3. Dune
   
4. The Hound of the Baskervilles
   
5. The Old Man and the Sea
   
6. The Shadow over Innsmouth
   
7. Carmilla
   
8. The Lord of the Rings
   
9. The Art of War
   
10. Plato's Republic
    

couldn't think of two fiction works I liked more than 9 and 10 so threw them in to round it out.

That is true. BUT if someone did want to watch them they are accesible, Killer's Kiss is featured on the Criterion version of The Killing and Fear and Desire was released on Blu Ray.
