In his books, The Film That Changed My Life and The Best Film You’ve Never Seen, American journalist and teacher, Robert K Elder offers some suggestions.

The Film That Changed My Life provides 30 directors sharing thoughts on their first encounter with the film that inspired them to direct movies. Spanning several generations – from relative newcomers to Oscar Award-winning veterans – these are inspired and inspiring discussions of classic films that shaped the careers of today’s directors and, in turn, cinema history.

The Best Film You’ve Never Seen is not only a guide to some overlooked movies but a bold attempt to rewrite film history by 35 directors who recommend what they consider to be underappreciated films. They each champion their favourite overlooked or critically savaged hidden gem.

Both these books offer some perspectives on what makes a “classic” film beyond the regular “Best of” lists with thoughtful, personal reflections.
