This list of films is compiled from responses to the thread on our facebook page, plus those suggested by guests on our NerdVsWorld show. Basically we had to suggest 5 films off the top of our heads that we thought everyone needed to see. I’ve removed any duplicates but added the number of times each one has been voted for. I’ll be updating it as and when new films are added. Please feel free to add your own 5 films in the comments at the bottom and I’ll add them to the list
