The list author says: "Why watch so many great movies if they don't bring a big change
into your life? Films must be more than just entertainment because when great filmmakers
produce great films, they wanna make you stop to think about your own values and what
you did so far in life... Are you wasting time or are you looking for a better understanding
of the world to do the right thing?"
