That's a lot of movies.

Being the young punk that I am, I've only seen 99 of these movies, though probably another 75-100 of them are on my active "Movies to See" list. I may have missed one or two. Going through the list a second time I caught another 4 that I had seen that I missed in my initial scan of the movie. Plus I've seen the remakes of maybe 4 or 5 of these movies, which don't really count, so maybe I shouldn't have bothered mentioning that anyway.

In any event, I've got a lot of work to do.

I doubt I'll get around to seeing all of the ones that came out before, say, 1960, but I'm going to make a concerted effort to hit as many as possible.

My list:

110 ) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ( 1937 )
123 ) The Wizard of Oz ( 1939 )
134 ) Fantasia ( 1940 )
138 ) Pinocchio ( 1940 )

474 ) The Jungle Book ( 1967 )
528 ) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ( 1971 )
551 ) The Godfather ( 1972 )
572 ) The Exorcist ( 1973 )
587 ) Blazing Saddles ( 1974 )
588 ) The Godfather Part II ( 1974 )
608 ) Carrie ( 1976 )

736 ) Shoah ( 1985 )


OMG - I remember renting that from Tower Records right before a blizzard in the late '80s. There were something like 5 VHS cassettes. The way the Tower clerk set things up, we could have the whole thing for $2.50 for 24 hours, but if we were late the late fee would be $2.50 per day per tape. So we hunkered down and watched the whole 14 hour documentary over the next 24 hours.

I'm still numb thinking about it.

The fact that there are numerous flicks on that list just since 2000 that I've never heard of makes me think that I'm not likely to put a big dent into this list (or even try to) anytime in the near future.
Plus, there are a number of movies listed that, while good, are hardly ones I'd stick in a must-see-before-you-croak category.

My theory is that he had trouble getting to 1,000 so he added some questionable movies in.

"Questionable" not as in "questionable that it is a good movie", but questionable meaning "questionable that you really need to see this movie before you die."

Getting through that entire list is more daunting that CF getting through all of Latvia.

Somehow, I don't picture a funeral where the eulogist comforts my few bereaved by telling them I was able to work in Broadcast News during my too short life.

I think you're taking the concept a little too literally.

A quick count indicates I've seen about 400 of them.

As if a list of 1,000 movies you should see before you die without ROBOCOP is worth making.

I may have missed it and probably did.
There are some great silent movies at the top of the list. But I didn't notice "Thunder Over Mexico" (directed by Sergei Eisenstein).

The movie was in commissioned by the Mexican government to be an epic history of that country. IIRC it was started around 1928- 29 as a silent film, and was photographed in color. It was released after talkies had been introduced and didn't make much money.

I saw it. What makes it stand out to me to this day was the fact that it was the most perfectly photographed movie I've ever seen. (And I've probably seen at least 700 of the films on that list).
Every frame could stand on its own as something you could hang as art in your home.

It would be interesting to know not only the person who made up that list , but the selection criteria as well.
