zzzorf’s 1000 Movie Recommendations For All Cinephiles
Favs/dislikes: 5:0. Nearly every Cinephile (a person who is fond of the cinema) has heard of definitive movie lists such as 1001 Movies to See Before You Die and They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? (and it's horror counterpart They Shoot Zombies, Don't They?), lists that have been compiled by critics or their rankings (respectively), to name the best movies of all time. Well this list takes their idea but puts a more personal spin on it. Borrowing an idea from an acquaintance of mine, fish_beauty, and his personal list Dinner and a Thousand Movies?, this list is 1000 movies that I would recommend to any and all Cinephiles to watch. This is not a list of my 1000 favourite movies, and in fact probably only a half of these would potentially be in that list, but movies that I think offer a lot to everyone and believe everyone should see. You will find movies from the above lists, because honestly they are the best movies of all time for a reason, but they will be hand in hand with great obscurities that many will not of heard of. What qualifies me to make a list like this and hope people will take it seriously? Well I have watched over 6000 different movies in my lifetime according to my profile and even though I have only classed myself as a Cinephile since July 2016 I have done my best to go back and watch a lot of those movies that I wouldn't of as just a regular movie watcher and have spread out into other areas of cinema due to my involvement in things like the March Around the World challenge here on Letterboxd, the Facebook groups connected to Flickchart and the iCM Forum, an unofficial forum for iCheckMovies. So how did I choose the movies for this list? Well after initially having another half the amount of movies needed I decided to make the list proportionate to what I've seen from each decade. Using a spreadsheet developed by another acquaintance, StinsyLinson, for her own personal movie challenge, and tweaking it for my needs, it let me know just how many movies I could add for each decade (and even goes deeper year by year to make it even more specific which I hope to fully realise in future versions of this list). Thus I was able to focus in on what movies should definitely be added and able to cut movies easier that were borderline additions. Therefore this list is sorted by release date to suit the way I have chosen them. Also, to allow more movies to be included I did not put more than one movie in from a series, I would leave it up to the viewer if they want to watch them, in some instances though I did put a sequel instead of the original where I believed they were more important than the first. Once selected I then went through and put the following information into each entry to make it more complete.(available in the Letterboxd version only, which can be found here https://boxd.it/8FSaY ) Name - The original name of the movie, that is for foreign movies it's original language name. Year - The year of release according to Letterboxd. Country - The country where the movie comes from. Type - Feature Film, Short Film, TV Movie etc. Language - The main language of the movie. Genre - What genre the movie is. Director - The director of the film (Female directors are marked with an (F) for easy reference for anyone who is interested). Reason - A lot will have the movies Rotten Tomatoes site synopsis, others will have quotes from critics and some will have trivia, all hopefully giving you a reason to choose to watch the movie. As I watch 60-100 movies a month I am hoping to update this list monthly so don't forget to check back for new movies that may catch your interest. If you do decide to watch movies of this list I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments, or at least be linked to your review to give it a read. If not I still thankyou for looking at my list and would love to hear your thoughts. -

Favs/dislikes: 5:0. Top 1000 films on Rateyourmusic.com. Latest update: December 2021. I've decided not to update as their new weighting disproportionately favours obscure films. A film with a score of 4.22 from 73 votes places higher than one with 4.06 from 5530. Missing: 438. Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler Part 2: Inferno (1922) - listed as one film on IMDb -
They Shoot Pictures Don't They 2017 1001-2000 (unranked)
Favs/dislikes: 8:0. "Listed below, are the films currently ranked from 1,001 to 2,000. The list below is in alphabetical order and is unranked. Many of these films are ex-members of the 1,000 Greatest Films listing." This film project is missing because it has no IMDB page: ENIAIOS (Gregory J. Markopoulos, 1990, USA, Col). It is an 80-hour experimental film cycle that has never been completely shown. To make the list look better, only the first episode of FANTOMAS (Louis Feuillade, 1913, France, 314m, BW) and SCENES FROM UNDER CHILDHOOD (Stan Brakhage, 1967-1970, USA, 135m, Col) were shown here but they are intended to represent the entire film cycles. Fantomas was a serial with five episodes and Scenes from Under Childhood was a series of experimental films in four parts or sections. -

1001 Movies That Shocked the World: A Chronology of Cult, Horror and Banned Films
Favs/dislikes: 19:0. Movies reviewed in the book by Vincent Kapner. From the birth of horror cinema, The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (1895) to Dante's Inferno (1911) and all the way through cinema's history to Raw (2017) and Wolves at the Door (2018), 1001 MOVIES THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD explores over a century of horror, cult and banned films. This extensive guide is replete with over 1000 entries, featuring choice cuts from every sub-genre imaginable in a movie jungle teeming with classics and lesser-known items of interest. Horror connoisseur, Vincent Kapner, serves as the Virgil to your Dante as he guides you through the infernal picture house of the most controversial, shocking and disturbing movies ever made. Overflowing with trivia and background information, as well as synopses, critical opinion and censorship information, 1001 MOVIES THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD is an indispensable addition to any film fan's book shelf. So, if you're an unrepentant cinematic sinner, why not take the plunge and visit the Seven Circles of Movie Hell. Not only will you find yourself in good company, but you'll also be introduced to dozens – if not hundreds – of strange and terrifying cine-lifeforms that had previously escaped your notice.

Wikipedia's List of Fantasy Films
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. Inspired by Mochard's invaluable List of Science Fiction Films, this is Wikipedia's chronological list of commercially released fantasy films, from 1899 to the present. "Fantasy films are films with fantastic themes, usually involving magic, supernatural events, incredible creatures, or exotic fantasy worlds. The genre is considered a form of speculative fiction alongside science fiction films and horror films, although the genres do overlap. Fantasy films often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary." -

iCM Forum's Favorite Coming of Age Movies Complete List
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. We all have to grow up some time, writers and directors also did at one point. Following the basic writing lesson of sticking to what you know, it is a stable theme to explore in movies (and other media). Coming of age film portrays the time of life when the protagonist(s) grows up, focusing on how he or she matures emotionally. Depicting the psychological and moral growth during the transition of a protagonist from youth to adulthood. Among others themes of self-discovery, sexual awakening and responsibilities vs. the loss of childhood dreams and naivete often play a big role. Protagonists are most often adolescents, although they can also be (slightly) younger or older. Often set in the past during the filmmakers own formative years, these movies are frequently infused with nostalgia. These are all voted movies in the poll Favorite Coming Of Age movies at the iCMForum The Top 100: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/icm+forums+favorite+coming+of+age+movies+top+100/lonewolf2003/ -
UNESCO's Memory of the World
Favs/dislikes: 140:4. In 1995, to celebrate the centenary of cinema, UNESCO worked together with film archives from 49 countries to "compile and publish a list of approximately 15 films each country considers to be representative of its most significant national cinematic heritage." UNESCO suggested that they consider historical importance and cultural/artistic value, but each film archive was allowed to define its own criteria to determine which films were important. The films of each country are listed in the order of the source-pdf. These countries are included. Angola, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Greece, The Holy See, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Laos, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Macedonia, Ukraine, United States of America, Venezuela, Yugoslavia These films or collections on the source-pdf are not included in this list, because they are not on IMDb: Canada: - A Selection of OMPB Films Produced between the two World Wars - A Selection of Film Produced by the Government of Canada before the Creation of the National Film Board - Royal Welcome, 8 unknown titles from the Canadian Cameo Series - 4 unknown reels from "Shorts Produced at the London Headquarters of the Canadian Army during the last War" - Animated Films of the National Film Board Ecuador: - part of Obra Filmica Documental Miguel A.
