We have a new series that will be starting up in the next couple of days called BSsentials. These will be posts centered around films that I feel are essential viewing. Many of these films will be classics, but many will not be. There will be goofy comedies on the list as well as quirky indie films, entertaining action flicks and some that are all of the above.

One thing I don’t want the list to be is pretentious, so I’m sure that there will be films on the list that surprise some people. Every film that makes the list will be on it for a different reason, and part of the exercise will be explaining what makes a film a BSsential. For those of you who followed the Best Picture blogs, this series will likely follow the same pattern of one film per week.

So keep your eyes peeled for the first BSsential, which should drop some time this week.
