These are all movies that were in previous editions of the book <i>1001 Movies to See Before You Die</i>, but were bumped in subsequent editions.
The 6th Edition just came out and that means new rejects. The following have been added to this list: “Meet the Parents”, “The Royal Tenenbaums”, “The Passion of the Christ”, “The Queen”, “Apocalypto”, “Into the Wild”, “Vas, Vis et Deviens”, “3-Iron”, “Rabbit-Proof Fence”,
and “Lantana” (#57-66).

I think I have done all the updates from the new edition of the list now
I guess the rejects list will have to be altered now that there’s a new edition of the main list… I can’t remember everything that was dropped, but they re-ordered it and some movies like TALK TO HER and PASSION OF THE CHRIST were actually added back to the list!
Taking of Chicago, Kill Bill, The Lord of the Rings movies in favor of some of the recent movies added? Seriously? Bad move.
I can’t believe the films that got cut…
i mean Meet the Parents is still on the list and other movies I would have never considered worthy.
Absolutely devastated.
Hey everyone,
They’ve revised the book once again. In keeping congruous with the 1001 movies to see before you die list on this site, I’ve added the films that were dropped from the newest version to this list.
Cheers.
Setting aside personal taste, bad move to get rid of Far from Heaven, Fellowship of the Ring, City of God, Russian Ark, Hero, Age of Innocence, Audition + Million Dollar Baby
as if ‘City of God’ was booted, that was the best film of the last 10 years.
Oh well, at least we know it wasn’t for the sake of keeping ‘Chicago’ in the book.

You can’t take off The Lord of the Rings! Not to mention the fact that you can’t see Return of the King all by its lonesome. If you want to include it in a ‘must see’ list, the other two comes as a done deal!

they deleted The Pillow Book. Some of them make sense (Far From Heaven jumps out at me), but I think PB is a total gem (and not just because of lovely Ewan… okay, maybe a little).
And removing 4 Martin Scorsese movies seems a bit harsh.
