They Shoot Pictures, Don't They - The 1000 Greatest Films (March 2006 edition)

Add to my lists | Print this list

"Our March 2006 list of the 1,000 Greatest Films of all-time has primarily been compiled by using 1,193 individual critics’ and filmmakers’ top-tens. That’s 193 more lists than our August 2005 update. A million thanks to Bill Spiby who kindly lent us his 1952, 1962 and 1982 Sight and Sound magazines. He is the main reason that our 1,000 Greatest films list now encompasses many more Top-10’s.

"In summary, here is the exact breakdown of top-tens used, or if you like, where we have begged, borrowed and stolen from: Sight & Sound’s 1952, 1962, 1982, 1992 and 2002 polls (539 lists), Senses of Cinema’s ongoing poll (148 lists), Your Movie Database’s (YMDB) Critics Corner (90 lists), Positif’s 1991 poll (68 lists), Facets’ 2003 poll (64 lists), The Cinematheque Top 10 Project (55 lists), the 1988 publication, John Kobal Presents the Top 100 Movies (51 lists), Time Out’s 1995 poll (50 lists), The Village Voice’s 1999 poll (40 lists), Epoca Online’s 2000 poll (29 lists) and 59 miscellaneous lists from a variety of other sources, some of which you can view here.

"We have also factored in (although to a much lesser degree than the above top ten lists) over 200 magazine polls, film institute polls, individual polls from ‘esteemed’ critics or filmmakers, specialty polls of note, and other polls of interest. These include: Halliwell’s Top 100 Films (2005), Time magazine’s All-Time 100 Movies (2005), Jonathan Rosenbaum’s 100 Favourite Films (2004), Derek Malcolm’s Century of Film (2001) and Leonard Maltin’s 100 Must-See Films of the 20th Century (2000). Smaller lists, also incorporated, include: Jean-Luc Godard’s Six Best French Films Since the Liberation (1965), Jim Jarmusch’s 10 Best Films of the 1980’s (1989), Terry Gilliam’s 10 Best Animated Films of All-Time (2001), Roger Ebert’s 20 Best Political Films of the Last Two Decades (1996) and Bertrand Tavernier’s 10 Overlooked French Films (2003). Please note that certain ‘dubious’ lists are not factored in at all, e.g. "Maxim’s 100 Greatest Guy Movies Ever Made" or "O Magazine’s 50 Greatest Chick Flicks." We have simply noted a film’s appearance in these lists for reference purposes only."
