a must-see


Explanation:
Dentro do contexto dado, o termo imperdível sugere algo que tem de ser visto. Por isso, "a must-see", combinação de dois verbos substantivados pelo determinante "a" (artigo indefinido) é extremamente apropriada.

Example sentence(s):
  • 100 MUST-SEE FILMS - Esse é o título do guia de filmes imperdíveis do aclamado crítico e historiador de cinema Leonard Maltin.
