1001 Movies to See Before You Die (1900 to 1929)

Add to my lists | Print this list

This list is drawn from Steven Jay Schneider’s 1001 Movies to See Before You Die. There is a complete list available, but I got tired of it changing every year when the new edition came out (especially when the new picks are worse (I’ll miss you City of God)). Given that none of the new editions have deleted a film before the 1980s, this list should stand awhile.
