Missing film! — 36 weeks ago

Metropolis is missing from the list!


Untitled — 36 weeks ago


Untitled — 41 weeks ago

One movie appears to be missing…


Untitled — 1 year 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 — 1 year 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 — 1 year 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 — 1 year 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).


Updated up to 850 — 1 year 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.


Untitled — 1 year ago

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.
