I watch tons of movies. If you think you watch a lot of movies in a year, multiply that by 5 and thats how many movies i watch in a year (unless you're a fellow cinephile).
If you want to be a filmmaker and you know nothing of international films, or of film history, youd better learn. there is nothing worse (in my eyes) than an irresponsible filmmaker. If you dont know who fellini or bunuel are, or who eisenstein or bazin are, LEARN!!!
