My top five is in constant flux. I'd call all of those films damn near flawless. They are masterpieces of the cinema as far as I'm concerned. I put NCfOM fifth this time, but it could easily be any other number in that top five.

I think there are probably quite a few people who haven't. He's great, though. You should check out Fanny and Alexander. It's very(, very) long, but also very beautiful and very accessible.

Would you say that's the ideal place to start?

I would say yes, but my only reservation is the length. I could see that scaring off a first timer before they even try.

Perhaps The Seventh Seal or The Virgin Spring would be better entry points.
