Below is a list of 1739 films which is constantly being updated and which has something valuable to say; while
many titles seem obscure, they can be viewed on TCM, a favorite channel devoted to excellence. If a title does not appear
on the list, this is possibly an indication that it was unavailable for viewing and consideration. The expression
"If you can't say anything good about ..." should also apply to film as well. But on a more practical
level, failure to understand art may be a failing by the viewer.
