Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story
Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and Rashoman
Orson Welles' Citizen Kane
William Wyler's Ben Hur
Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin
John Ford's The Searchers
Stanley Kubrick's
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and 2001: A Space Odyssey
Carl Dryer's The Passion of Joan of Arc
Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest
Fredrico Fellini's La Dolce Vita
François Truffaut's Jules et Jim and Fahrenheit 451
David Lean's Lawrence Of Arabia
Robert Mulligan's To Kill a Mockingbird
Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull
Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather Part I and The Godfather Part II

I could go on and on...

These are a minimum if you ask me. You should take especial note of the non-American directors and films, as this will broaden your appreciation of film-making.

Good luck. Sounds like an interesting course...
