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.

Please don’t add your own favorites—start your own list!

My Musical! — 3 years ago

Where’s Little Shop of Horrors? That musical ROCKS THE HOUSE! Maybe I should just stop complaining and add it to the list.

Where's Shawshank?! — 3 years ago

I was shocked to see that Mary Poppins somehow made the list but not The Shawshank Redemption.
I was very glad to see One Flew Over the Cuukoos Nest, Thelma and Louise and The Purple Rose of Cairo. I’ve always thought that The Purple Rose of Cairo was a very overlooked movie.
I’m only 3% done with this list. :(

The Butcher's Wife? — 3 years ago

I think you’re looking for The Butcher Boy.

Pages 16-18 are now really jumbled — 3 years ago

That’s what I get for trying to go back and fill in the correct versions of some of the movies I added. Arrrgh. Re-ordering is excruciatingly slow, so I’m just going to move on and add the rest of the titles. Sorry.
