Correction — 3 years ago

Added the correct A Trip to the Moon (1902) by Georges Melies.


Untitled — 3 years ago

what happened to Trip to the Moon?


Untitled — 4 years ago

Where is the rest? 5 missing!


Missing film! — 4 years ago

Metropolis is missing from the list!


Untitled — 4 years ago


Untitled — 4 years ago

One movie appears to be missing…


Untitled — 4 years ago

Is it correct that Dr. Mabuse – The Gambler (1922) is ON the list and The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933) is not? I thought Testament was more critically acclaimed but I haven’t seen The Gambler.


Untitled — 4 years ago

Looks like somebody fixed this (not me), thanks for pointing it out, I must have missed that. NOW the list is fully up to date.


'Monster' error — 4 years ago

The list is at 1002 because ‘Aileen Wuornos: Selling of a Serial Killer’ is listed twice. Once on p.15 and again on 17 or so (wherever it actually is supposed to appear).

I’d fix it but my computer doesn’t seem to want to let me.


Fully Updated — 4 years ago

Alright, after a lot of work, this list now completely matches the most recent book. It adds up to 1002, but I’m pretty sure that’s an error in the book and not this list. Hope you all enjoy it (and nobody mess it up, please).
