What's your go to movie suggestion for someone just getting into film?

Maybe. I never watched movies back when I was in high school. It was the late '90s, I was from a small town, and the only thing that played at my little multiplex were Adam Sandler movies and stuff like Independence Day.

When I was maybe 19 or 20, I took an art survey class, and the professor projected a still from Bergman's The Virgin Spring while discussing minimalism in composition. I don't know why, but the image got lodged in my brain, and then a couple days later when I was at the library, I checked the movie out. I had never seen anything like it and it blew my mind. This was maybe 2001 or 2002.

My point is: some people aren't "movie people" yet because the film bro and Disney shit just doesn't satiate their appetite.
