New York Times - Best 1000 Movies Ever (2004 ed)

Add to my lists | Print this list

As the source says, "This list is drawn from the second edition of The New York Times Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made … edited by Peter M. Nichols and published in 2004."

Actually, there are a few more than 1000 on the list, perhaps because some were listed more than once—for example, Little Women of both 1933 and 1994 are listed.

how utterly mediocre.... — 3 years ago

……..silly silly list


Untitled — 3 years ago

I just saw Mother on this list. Really, New York Times, really?


Every time... — 3 years ago

…I look at this list, I hate it even more. I’m going to have to drop it.


Face to Face — 4 years ago

I replaced the incorrect Face to Face with the Ingmar Bergman film of the same name from 1976.


I can't believe ... — 4 years ago

… “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” didn’t make this top 1000 list.

Utterly incredible.

Untitled — 4 years ago

Well, hardly a great list. Should be more by Mizoguchi of course. I was at least pleasantly surprised to find The Well-Digger’s Daughter here; haven’t seen it for 25 years but brings back some good memories.


I Agree. — 4 years ago

This is hands down the worst list in this category.


39 Steps — 5 years ago

Someone needs to change 39 Steps to the Alfred Hitchcock version!!!


terrible list!! — 5 years ago

i can’t believe some of the choices on here. first I noticed that Buster Keaton’s The General wasn’t here (unforgivable). Then as I went I noticed there were absolutely no silent films. if they wanna call it the greatest movies ever made then maybe they should include the 30+ years before sound film.

also: Ruthless People?? really?

PS The 39 Steps should be changed to the correct 1935 Hitchcock version.


I just double checked... — 5 years ago

And this list is correct and in the proper order… Still, if anyone wants to go over it with a fine toothed comb, please do!
