Curated Films Tested: New York Times vs Warner Bros Musicals Showdown

Diving into the world of curated film recommendations, today we pit two distinct guides against each other: the esteemed "The New York Times Book of Movies: The Essential 1,000 Films to See" and the more specifically themed "Best of Warner Bros. 20 Film Collection Musicals (DVD)". The latter, a physical collection, tightens the focus onto a beloved genre through classic studio holdings, while the NYT volume offers an ambitious survey covering myriad genres and eras. This wasn't just about checking boxes; it was a skirmish in the ongoing quest to navigate the vast cinematic sea, comparing a broad, influential guide with a curated deep-dive into one specific corner of moviedom.
