They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? Starting List of 7900+ Most Notable Films (1893-1929)

Here it is, for your viewing pleasure. The starting list (of over 7900 films), from which They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? select annually the 1000 Greatest Films. The list itself is created from various film critics and filmmakers’ "best-films-of-all-time" lists/ballots, as well as annual film magazine polls.

To make it more easier to shift through, this list will be organized chronologically, then alphabetically by title, and finally catagorized by decade (in nine parts). The exception is this one, which will include the earliest films in history from years 1893 to 1929.

Enjoy some of the greatest silents along with the earliest talkies!
