(there is a logic in the division of the lists: in the first one, there are all the films i have seen before long debates and stuff, and the realization that there is a whole world of movies that not only are beautiful, but also are almost necessary to grow up from my little shell. too bad, anyway, that i don't remember all the movies i've seen, so i'm adding the movies i did see long years ago among the upper list, and the newly seen movies in the second.)
