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

what happened to Trip to the Moon?

New to website – how do you know how many you’ve seen in total after you’ve clicked the movies?


Untitled — 14 weeks ago

Where is the rest? 5 missing!


Missing film! — 14 weeks ago

Metropolis is missing from the list!


Untitled — 14 weeks ago


Untitled — 19 weeks ago

One movie appears to be missing…


Untitled — 31 weeks 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.

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 — 37 weeks 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.
