Monumental list. I’m very impressed with you for adding it!

I have only 7%… I should watch more movies.

Trog? — 4 years ago

Why is Trog on here? It’s generally considered one of the worst films of all time.

How is it in any way essential?

I hate when people throw bones to the “so bad it’s good” crowd in lists like this.

The list is now complete (except for the small, tiny fact that we’re missing one title). I believe it’s going to be something before number 5,000 (if that helps). There should be a total of 5,748 films.

Through 2000 — 4 years ago

The more I look over this list, it’s not hard to realize how much the American audience has been dumbed down over the years. I’ve always believed that by the end of the early eighties, American filmgoers began to lower their expectations. It’s almost as if film, as an art form, has decreased in importance (at least in the average person’s mind) over the years. It seems to matter less and less.

What is #5254? — 4 years ago

The link has no information on it, but when clicked on it seems to be the Joffe film from the 80s, whereas here it is listed as 1999.

Phew! — 4 years ago

Impressive list. I’m currently trying to watch the They Shoot Pictures Greatest 1,000 films and have just finished that list. So I know how long this takes, well done for getting this far.

Show Boat — 5 years ago

I don’t have time at the moment to change it so I’m leaving a note that the 1936 Show Boat listed is the George Sidney version rather than the intended James Whale version. Great work so far!

This is going to take a while to get done. I’m going in order of release date starting with the earliest year if anyone wants to jump in.
