Combined Film Canon - 1890 / 1929

Updated, Jul. 2009.

The �Combined Film Canon� is a list of 2,000 great movies, assembled by combining the �They Shoot Pictures Don�t They� list of 1,000 movies and a �Doubling the Canon� list, created by participants on the IMDb Classic Film message board, which added an additional 1,000 great movies. The result is a list of 2,000 movies, which includes feature films, shorts, TV-movies, and TV mini-series. It does not include TV series or music videos.

Because of its unwieldy size, the Combined Film Canon will be posted as nine lists: 1890-1929, 1930�s, 1940�s, 1950�s, 1960�s, 1970�s, 1980�s, 1990�s, and 2000-present. These lists will be updated regularly, as They Shoot Pictures and the �Doubling the Canon� project make revisions.

On each of the nine Combined Film Canon lists, movies are first listed chronologically, and then alphabetically within the years.
