Changes from the 5th Edition — 3 years ago

They added “The Queen” and “Into the Wild” in the 5th, and removed them in the 6th, not a big fan of the quick entries and quick removals.

I would put my money on at least 2 of the 10 films they added this year to be dropped in the 7th edition:

- Surfwise

- Bourne Ultimatium

- Wall-E

- Good, The Bad and the Weird, The

- Dark Knight, The

- Wrestler, The

- Curious Case of Benjamin Button

- Gomorrah

- Class, The

- Slumdog Millionaire


High Noon — 3 years ago

was missing from the list. Put it back at #250.


Untitled — 3 years ago

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) seems to have disappeared from the list. Would add it but don’t know how…


uh, sorry... — 3 years ago

I accidentially deleted a title. I thought the “edit” feature was just for oranizing your own personal list of what you’d seen, since the check mark thing didn’t seem to be working out. Ooops. And I can’t figure out how to add back Slumdog Millionaire.

Is on this page.

http://www.matthewhunt.com/blog/2009/09/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die.html

I think I am going to update this one now.


Untitled — 3 years ago

So the new edition of this is coming out on Monday in the UK apparently. Is anyone going to buy it and update this? I am interested in seeing what movies from last year made it.


a real definitive list — 3 years ago

someone should make a list of all the versions of 1001 movies so that it reflefts all editions

i think that would be really helpful


Untitled — 3 years ago

What’s happened to Dirty Harry?
