I just hit a massive milestone: 2,000 movies watched on Netflix. You’d think by now I’d seen it all, but a recommendation from my colleague, Vince, proved me wrong. I just finished my first Rainer Werner Fassbinder film, Love Is Colder Than Death (1969), and I’m reeling.
It made me realize that despite my high watch count, there’s a whole universe of "essential" cinema I’ve barely touched. If Fassbinder is just the tip of the iceberg, I’m ready to dive in.
Who are the other giants I’m missing? If you have a recommendation for someone as bold and stylish as Fassbinder, drop it in the comments!
