henryjfromage's "The List (1mdb)"

Add to my lists | Print this list

My good faith effort at creating a list of THE movies to see, of every genre/category and period. Each year Palme D’Or and Best Picture nominees are added as well as movies that have three month staying power on Imdb’s top 250. This list uses a variety of critical and meta-lists in its construction- not just my opinion. A personal list bringing together a variety of definitive sources…
