Wrong Dawn of the Dead — 11 weeks ago

Replaced the 2004 remake with the 1978 original that should be in spot No. 271.


Untitled — 25 weeks ago

These days “The Army in the Shadows” (#449) is always referred to as “Army Of Shadows.” Criterion Collection image available.

“Scarlett Street” (#997) should be spelled “Scarlet Street.”


2010 version is out — 2 years ago

Should this be updated or start a new one? There are 68 new titles in the 2010 version and a lot of titles have moved around.


Correction — 2 years ago

Replaced #685 Douglas Sirk’s “There’s Always Tomorrow” with Disney’s “Bambi” so the list complies with the list source.


Giant? — 2 years ago

Is that movie on here? I must be overlooking it. George Stephens is one of They Shoot Picture’s top 100 directors, so I have a hard time believing the movie’s not on this list.


9%! — 2 years ago

W00t. I’m addicted to lists. Now I have to complete this one, too. Also working on a 1001 books to read before you die list. I’ll be reading/watching movies until I die. :-)


List Updated and complete. — 3 years ago

The list has now been updated.

Apologies to anyone that was using the old list but it was always my intention to keep up to date with They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?

For future reference, this list will be updated again next December, when the new list is made available.

Thanks


Update. — 3 years ago

The new list is now available and I’m currently in the process of updating this page. Stay tuned and it’ll be finished in the next day or so. Thanks


El Topo review — 3 years ago

Experienced Alejandro Jodorowsky’s mind altering acid western El Topo.

El Topo


Untitled — 3 years ago

Well i’m looking forward to the new + hopefully improved 1000 in December. They’re busy working on it at the moment…
