Updated up to 850 — 4 years ago

Only 151 more movies to go through before the list is totally brought up to date. There were only a few changes to make on earlier pages, such as the additions of Dances with Wolves, Drowning by Numbers, and Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer. All in the 5th Anniversary version of the book. I’ll get the part with the most changes when the sight is less glitchy.

Please do not change the list just because you disagree with the choices, people.

This list’s been seriously messed with. The whole last page doesn’t match up at all with the movies in the 5th anniversary edition of the book. The Host’s in the book. No Country for Old Men’s in the book, etc, etc. I’ll try to do some clean-up over the next week.

this is a great list, but there are some head sctatchers, like why oh why is “The Ladie”s Man " included but “Ed Wood”, “The Posiedon Adventure”, “The War of The Roses”, “Barberella”, “Donnie Darko”, “Office Space” and “Foul Play” are not!

Rejects — 5 years ago

OK, it appears we have confirmation that there is a new addition of the book, so the changes have been made.

I went over and added the 12 films that were dropped from the previous version to the rejects list, which can be found here:

I believe the list was actually completely correctwith the updated newest version of the book. I did a check and the newest book which I bought in Autumn did actually have 1002 films in (a mistake!) and those 12 or so new films were all added in.

It seems, as the person below me pointed out, that a lot of changes have been made to the list. EJestico changed at least a dozen films and there seems to be other problems with the list. I’m deleting the changes EJestico made. I am unsure of the ones that were deleted. Can anyone help?

New additions — 5 years ago

While I would not be surprised by the dozen or so new titles that have been added onto this list, the amount of older titles that have magically appeared on this list suggest that someone has taken liberties and corrupted this list.

There are a lot of older Chinese films that were never on this list before, so please be careful when adopting this list as it may not be 100% correct anymore.
