Empire's 250 Greatest Films You've Never Seen

Add to my lists | Print this list

Taken from the Australian edition of Empire, October 2007 issue.

"..a list of 250 films split equally across 10 genres. They are the forgotten gems, the undiscovered classics, the shoulda-been-hits-but-weren’t – the films, in other words, you ignore every time you walk into the DVD store. Frankly, you don’t know what you’ve been missing. Some you will have heard of, others you won’t. Most are available on DVD, some may require you dusting off the old VHS player, while others may necessitate a bit of serching on the internet. One thing is certain though: you’ve got a lot of watching ahead of you."

The published list wasn’t in any particular order, apart from being organized by genre:
1-25: Action
26-50: Comedy
51-75: Horror
76-100: Australia/New Zealand
101-125: Foreign
126-150: Kids
151-175: Sci-Fi
176-200: Thriller
201-225: Documentary
226-250: Drama
