Essential Lubitsch

A condensed list for folks who want a more accessible entry to Lubitsch than "watch literally all of them!": an attempt to strike a balance between historical relevance and art/entertainment value.

I've added notes for films of historical interest. If a film has no note, the reason for inclusion boils down to "it's terrific!"

If you'd like information on where to find these films, check out the How Would Lubitsch Do It resources page.
