<p>Films that won prizes in the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival</p>
📽️Compétition officielle - Festival de Cannes - Official Competition (1946 – 2026)
<p>The Festival de Cannes (Cannes Festival) is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films from around the world. Founded in 1946, it is considered the most prestigious film festival in the world and is one of the most publicized, together with the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. The invitation-only festival is held annually in May at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.</p><p>Ever since its creation, the Festival de Cannes has remained faithful to its founding purpose: to draw attention to and raise the profile of films with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level.</p><p>The Official Selection serves to highlight the diversity of cinematic creation through its different sections, the two most important of which are the Competition and Un Certain Regard. Films that are representative of “auteur cinema with a wide audience appeal” are presented in Competition, and Un Certain Regard focuses on works that have an original aim and aesthetic. The Official Selection also includes Out of Competition films, Special Screenings and Midnight Screenings, Cannes Classics and the Cinéfondation selection targeting film schools.</p><p>The Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival. It was introduced in 1955 by the organizing committee. From 1939 to 1954, the highest prize was the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film. In 1964, it was replaced once again by the Grand Prix du Festival before being reintroduced in 1974. </p><p>Prior to the beginning of each event, the Festival appoints the jury who will hold sole responsibility for choosing which films in the official competition section will receive an award. Jurors are chosen from a wide range of international artists, based on their body of work and respect from their peers. The Jury for the feature films in competition is obliged to award the Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix, the award for the Best Director, the Jury Prize, the award for the Best Screenplay, the award for the Best Actress and the award for the Best Actor. </p><p>Rules have changed over the years, but nowadays, the prize list must not contain more than one joint award and the Palme d'Or can never be awarded jointly. Furthermore, no film can receive more than one award. However, the award for the Best Screenplay and the Jury Prize can be combined with a Best Performance award, on special dispensation of the Festival's President.</p><p>The following is a complete list of all films shown in Competition at the Cannes Festival since 1946. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded a prize.</p><p><em><strong>Other Cannes Festival Lists:</strong></em></p><p>* Compétition officielle (annual lists): <a

at the Cannes Film Festival Over the Years</a></p>
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
The 1001 Greatest Films, ranked as objectively as possible.
<p>I would like to thank everyone who engaged and commented on my previous version of this list. The feedback I had was phenomenal and certainly unexpected. When I started this project it was meant to be just a reliable personal source of recommendations of films to watch from time to time. I never expected any interest outside of myself and my family, so thank you all again.</p><p>Just like my previous work, I feel that I have to make a disclaimer explaining that this list is not objective in any sense. I don't even believe it is possible to quantify art objectively. Nonetheless, I also believe that some works of art are better than others and we can learn why that is the case. What this list is is an attempt to generate a consensus between a wide range of opinions, eliminating as much bias as possible, while maintaining the integrity of the acclaim from academic criticism and also the general public.</p><p>This project came to be after my consistent failure to find reliable and unbiased movie lists, that addressed movies outside English-speaking countries with fairness and had a combination of opinions from new and old generations. Creating this list was a problem far more difficult than I first anticipated. Not only I had to find high-quality lists to have a sample size in which I could work, but also I had to create my mathematical system to aggregate the results as objectively as possible.</p><p>They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?" (TSPDT) would prove to be the best list by far, having already aggregated 12,276 individual lists into one single big list, ranking the top 1000 movies. Since no other data that I used got nowhere even close to this sample size, TSPDT became my base reference. Also, the quality of the list is undeniable, being the most reliable source of academic critical consensus on movies available on the internet.</p><p>That being said, the list is not perfect, having a huge "English bias" and severely underrating modern movies as well as the general public criticism. I had to find my own sources of reliable and high-quality lists (a task easier said than done due to the vast amount of unreliable material) to solve this problem. Once I had my complete selection, I used my mathematical system to aggregate the results in an attempt to minimize any subjective analysis. Of course, as stated before, eliminating it is impossible, but I'm confident that this system has minimal interference on my part.</p><p>I planned on updating my original list once my methods became better and more refined, but this new methodology produced such a different result that I had to create a new list. The major difference between this and the old list is a much better mathematical formula, that more accurately rewards films that have wide inconsistencies in their rankings across multiple sources (for instance, The Shawshank Redemption was severely underrated in the old list because of those inconsistencies). Also, I used individual directors and genres lists to more accurately rank the films, a method that provided much better results.</p><p>I will repeat what I said before. There's no way to claim that a particular list has THE best 1001 movies ever made in history, not to mention ranking them. But I can say that I'm happy with the results. I think this is the best list I've seen that is relatively accurate and fair, would speak to a significant number of people, covers movies from all generations and different countries, combines critics and the general public's tastes, has a broad number of genres, and is with as little bias as possible.</p><p>The mathematical system that I used I wish to remain a secret to preserve the authenticity of the list.</p>

1001 Movies To Watch Before You Die [ALL EDITIONS!]
Last Updated/Checked: Oct. 2024
I've got the 10th edition of the German translation of "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die". It's a 960-paged book edited by Steven Jay Schneider, containing the combined knowledge of 77 internationally renowned movie ciritics, with short one to half-sided essays, movie credits, and trivia, throughout all genres and countries.
There are already a number of lists out, however, this book is reviewed every year, and as far as I can tell (I did go through a lot of these lists) non depicts the 2013 edition I possess, which ends with Life of Pi. I then thought of the ideal list being on that includes *all* movies, starting from the original list from 2003, with all the editions but non of the removals since then. Thanks to the internet, such list exists and therefore I will be adding these here, one by one. I did not "rank" them, because actually the book doesn't either - they are ordered by year and that is as meaningful as any other order I guess. Also, the "ranked lists" all have the problem that some movies are removed, which is why a number of people think about how to renumber this list probably... all things I deem unnecessary.
And yes, I intend to watch them all! If you watch one of them every week, it's just a 20 years task :D

http://1001films.wikia.com/wiki/The_List
<p>I must confess, I wouldn’t be as much of a movie fan as I am now if it weren’t for the horror genre. Fear is the most fascinating human emotion and no medium in the arts has it been more sublimely represented and conveyed than in cinema. I was hooked ever since I saw the trailer for <i>Bram Stoker’s Dracula</i> right before <i>Batman Returns</i> in theaters when I was a kid. So in honor of the best genre in film, here’s a list of horror movies that has made a lasting impact on me and of course come highly recommend. </p><p>Full disclosure: I won’t be including titles that are popular such as <i>Psycho</i>, <i>Suspiria</i>, or <i>Audition</i>. I love those movies to death but what I’m trying to do here is share a couple of gems that many people may have overlooked. Films I find criminally underrated that should be seen will fill up this space. Also, these are in no particular order. I’ll keep adding as I discover more.</p>

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
BFI: 2012 Critics top 250 films
<p>Also: <a href="http://letterboxd.com/liveandrew/list/bfi-2012-directors-top-100-films/" rel="nofollow"><b>BFI: 2012 Director’s top 100 films</b></a></p><p>Once a decade Sight & Sound asks critics to select the Greatest Films of All Time. We’re proud that, thanks to its longevity and critical reach, this poll has come to be regarded as the most trusted guide there is to the canon of cinema greats, not to mention a barometer of changing critical tastes. Famously, Citizen Kane topped our poll every decade from 1962 to 2002…</p><p>For our 2012 edition, riding on the back of an increasingly globalised movie culture, we made a concerted push to take the poll truly worldwide – extending invitations to over 1,000 critics, programmers, academics, distributors, writers and other cinephiles, and receiving 846 top-ten lists from correspondents in 73 countries, citing 2,045 different films.</p><p>What the increase in numbers has – and hasn’t – done is surprising. We have a new number one (a colour film!), but the overall top ten has shifted back in time, with fully three silent films and nothing more recent than 1968’s 2001. (That said, there may be the first accruals of recognition for the past decade-and-a-bit’s putative ‘modern classics’ at numbers 24 and 28. And on the subject of fluctuating tastes, it’s fascinating to see the extremely long latter-day titles that have infiltrated the 36th and 48th slots.)</p><p>Female filmmakers also continue to be underserved by the consensus: while a quarter of our voters were women, there were barely nine female-directed titles in our top 250. And while we attempted to extend our invitations to more particular connoisseurs of documentary, animation, experimental and short films, there’ve been few surprises to disrupt the dominance of the ‘art’ feature film – the most notable exceptions being at numbers 8 and 29…</p><p>All these trends and more warrant further exploration, which we’re continuing to amass over at our poll news pages at bfi.org.uk/sightsoundpoll2012, where you can also read more about our methodology. And on 22 August we’ll be adding here the 358 top-ten lists we received in our parallel film directors’ poll, which we've also conducted every decade since 1992; for now you can see their top ten here, or indeed browse 100 of their entries in our special September 2012 poll issue, now also available in digital form.</p><p>More on my <a href="http://letterboxd.com/liveandrew/list/andrews-list-of-lists/detail/" rel="nofollow">List of Lists</a>.</p>

My 1000 Favorite Films of All-Time
<p>Only a few films have been added -- or "old" ones removed -- for about a year now, so this list is already vastly out of date (I'll hopefully get a chance to update it eventually), while still representing my taste in contemporary cinema fairly well:</p><p>Essentially the most memorable 7-8ish percent of all the feature length films I've seen in my life (which is well over 12,000); there are (a thousand or two?/)hundreds of films I've yet to log on Letterboxd. Only includes films made between 1940-2020 (due to my knowledge of pre-1940s cinema being so limited), and solely encompassing movies with runtimes of approximately 40 min. or longer.</p><p>275ish through 1000 are currently unranked, and I was primarily only adding 5/5s to this list -- when I was last, truly adding to it -- so there are a lot of films (mostly recent 4.5s and "non-new-release" 5/5s) which are currently missing.</p><p>Ranked not necessarily <br />by "best," but by "favorite."</p>
My Favorite Movie Posters

It could be any film, preferably released this year, but it’s your choice. You can also link a review, write a reason why you love it in the replies, or just simply comment the film’s title.

Sight and Sound's Directors’ 100 Greatest Films of All Time 2022
<p>Every decade since 1992, Sight and Sound has complemented its celebrated critics’ poll by formally sounding out the world’s leading directors on the ten films they believe to be the greatest of all time.</p><p>Though it has always been global and inclusive in scope, the poll has expanded significantly each decade. In 1992, 101 directors voted; fast-forward to 2012, when 358 filmmakers took part. This year, for the fourth edition of the poll, we received ballots from 480 directors. This electorate spans experimental, arthouse, mainstream and genre filmmakers from around the world.

Movies with Weird Gimmicks
<p>A list of movies that shoot for the stars, trying to make films with all sorts of strange and inventive gimmicks. They don't always succeed, but they most definitely have a good hand in advancing cinema through their efforts.</p><p>Movies that are extremely weird thanks to any narrative, editing, camera, etc gimmicks are certainly welcome here. Experimental, but without the "this is kinda incomprehensible" stigma that comes attached with that label. Some of these are actually very conventional movies, just with certain gimmicks involved. So there's no specification here.</p><p>If there are a few films with the same gimmicks, that's fine, as long as that gimmick didn't become super popular (i.e. Blair Witch Project, This is Spinal Tap, Roger Rabbit, A Scanner Darkly). </p><p>Suggestions are very welcome.

Empire's 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
Empire Magazine published in September 2008 their 500 Greatest Movies of All Time List, selected in a poll by over 10,000 Empire readers, 150 film makers and 50 film critics.
http://www.empireonline.com/500/
<p>A cumulative list "includ[ing] all films in all editions" of the <i>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die</i> book series. Shamelessly copied from <a href="http://1001films.wikia.com/wiki/The_List" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />Presence on this list is in no way an endorsement.</p>
1001 Best Movies According to Combined Score
I started off by gathering ratings from IMDB (User/Critic Average), Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer, Critic Average, Audience Score, User Average), Metacritic (Critic Average, User Average) and Letterboxd (User Average). I was then able to determine a rating (out of 10) for each individual rating and therefore come up with an average rating for each site. Each site’s average rating was then weighted fairly so that no site’s ratings were favored above the rest.
The next step was to make sure that each film was treated fairly. Other top movie list’s like IMDb’s Top 1000 removes films that have under a certain viewing number (25,000 I think), but rather than ruling out films that may have been overlooked by the general audience (especially older films), I opted to alter these films score by carefully deducting points depending on how many people have seen it, and therefore voted on it. I also thought it was needed to make sure that recent films (released within the past 36 months) were also not favored, as it usually takes 3 years for the average rating to settle down. So I also added a deduction to these films that fell under this rule.

Pensive Thoughts on Rainy Days 🌧
<p>It's raining hard outside so you decide to put on some movies that are "soothingly" equivalent to <i>Edith Piaf's</i> music (just saying) - getting in the moody vibe and finding some contemplation/comfort on this very cold day. And here are a few flicks that can take you to the pensive zone. Fun, sad, mixed feelings and deep-thought rumination.<br /><b>From</b> <b>Paterson:</b></p><blockquote><p>Water falls.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Water falls from bright air.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>It falls like hair, falling across a young girl’s shoulders.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Water falls making pools in the asphalt, dirty mirrors with clouds and buildings inside.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>It falls on the roof of my house.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>It falls on my mother and on my hair.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Most people call it rain</p></blockquote><p>The list will be constantly updated and of course, <b>suggestions are welcome</b></p>
Surreal, Psychedelic & Mind-Bending films
A selection of films, famed for their decision to throw convention out of the window. This list pays homage to the great surrealist films from the history of cinema.
The 1001 Greatest Films, ranked as objectively as possible
<p>UPDATE--------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>This list is now obsolete. Check out the new version of the list:<br /><b><a href="https://boxd.it/dJ7kK" rel="nofollow">The 1001 greatest films, ranked as objectively as possible</a>.</b></p><p>END OF UPDATE---------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>I decided to start this project after observing the sheer absence of good, unbiased, ranking movie lists, that encompasses both new and old generations, addressed movies outside the US with fairness, and combined opinions of both critics and casual viwers. All of that while also beign as objective as possible.</p><p>Needless to say, creating such a list would prove to be a hard problem to tackle. Since the result would be something like an aggregated list, my first step was to look for the best exemple of such a list, that already combined a huge portion of the relevant data that I needed. "They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?" (TSPDT) would prove to be the best list by far, having already aggregated 11,398 individual lists (as of 2020) into one single big list, ranking the top 1000 movies. Since no other data that I used got nowhere even close to this sample size, TSPDT became my base reference.</p><p>That being said, the list had its flaws. It heavily biased for american movies, for movies before the 80's, and is hugely formed by traditional big name critics opinions. So I had to do my own work. I devised my own mathematical system, using weighted averages and other operations, in order to combine TSPDT list with other, very diferent but very trusted, lists in the best way possible. The use of mathematical formulas were an atempt to minimize any subjective analysis. Of course, eliminating it would be impossible (the whole nature of even the base list is based on subjective opinion), but I'm confident that the result has minimal interference from my part. The only insertion of my subjectivity in the list is in the weighted values that I attributed to the diferent lists used as data (which had to be done. Some lists are simply better than others).</p><p>I gave a special treatment to horror movies, since the general consensus on them varies greatly, and the opinion of critics and the general public differs significantly. That doesn't mean that I weighted them higher in any form, it just means that I used unique lists as data to rank them in my list. The base list for their rankings was the one on "They Shoot Zombies, Don't They?", which is another list following the formula on TSPDT (very fortunate indeed).<br />UPDATE: Now using specific lists to draw more accurate data for multiple movie genres.</p><p>No such a list will ever do justice. There's no way to even claim that a particular list has THE best 1001 movies ever made in history, not to mention ranking them. But I can say that I'm happy with the result (even though I disagree with a lot of things). I think this is the best list I've seen that is relatively accurate and fair, would speak to a significant number of people, covers movies from all generations and different countries, combines critics and the general public's tastes, has a broad number of genres, and is with as little bias as possible.</p><p>The individual lists that I used for data were checked to see if they didn't were already aggregated in the TSPDT list. They were somewhat prestigious lists available on the internet, and preferably already aggregating in their form (Letterboxd was one of them).</p><p>The mathematical system that I used I wish to remain a secret to preserve the authenticity of the list. But I can tell you it wasn't too crazy or complicated, and involved weighted averages (the highest weight was attributed to the TSPDT lists).</p><p>List Stats:</p><p>Movies by decade:<br />1900's: 1<br />1910's: 3<br />1920's: 30<br />1930's: 65<br />1940's: 75<br />1950's: 138<br />1960's: 160<br />1970's: 153<br />1980's: 120<br />1990's: 123<br />2000's: 101<br />2010's: 32<br />Top Year: 1974 (22 films)</p><p>Movies from director:<br />13 - Alfred Hitchcock.<br />12 - Jean-Luc Godard; John Ford; Luis Buñuel.<br />11 - Akira Kurosawa; Ingmar Bergman; Jean Renoir.<br />10 - Federico Fellini; Howard Hawks; Stanley Kubrick.<br />9 - Hayao Miyazaki; Luchino Visconti; Robert Bresson.<br />8 - Charles Chaplin; John Huston; Michael Powell; Roberto Rossellini; Yasujirō Ozu.<br />7 - Abbas Kiarostami; Andrei Tarkovsky; François Truffaut; Fritz Lang; Joel Coen & Ethan Coen; John Cassavetes; Kenji Mizoguchi; Martin Scorsese; Michelangelo Antonioni; Roman Polanski; Steven Spielberg.</p>
Recommended Directors for Film Enthusiasts
<p>After looking through my Recommendations For A Novice Film Viewer list, I have thought for some time to make a film list that would appeal to those who genuinely appreciate the visionary behind the camera.</p><p>I have provided the first three suggestions, and I wanted them to be obvious ones, because I am asking you, the Letterboxd community to provide some suggestions of directors that people should invest their time in and possibly find something of significant value through exploration. It would also be wonderful if quotes from your own or other peoples' reviews that perfectly summarise the director's appeal could be provided. Hopefully the suggestions provided would be diverse.</p><p>I will consistently look for quotes when I have spare time on my hands to fill each director's notes.</p><p>*It seems finding quotes have been harder than I thought. If people could contribute some quotes to go with these entries, even if the entries are not your own; it would make the list much more sophisticated and expansive, and I would really appreciate it.</p>
[Complete 2003-2021] 1001 movies you must see before you die
Original Edition (2003) + additions (2004-2021) in that order. http://1001films.wikia.com/wiki/The_List
<p>List began in 2013, and is still updated frequently.<br />These are the greatest films* I have ever seen.</p><p>I will update this list as any films that are worthy pass my eyes, or if upon re-watching my judgment was foolish.<br />The films are also organized alphabetically (according to the name they had upon addition to the list) so as to bypass subjective associations and allow for easy searching.<br />Have any questions or comments? Leave them down below - I'd love to chat with you!</p><p>*The word film here is used incredibly loosely to accommodate shorts, installation works, digital art, miniseries and the like so long as it is a recorded work (that means instillation works which allow for pure chance to radically change the work can hardly be included) and as far as miniseries are predetermined with a set number of episodes which contribute to something resembling a cinematic work more generally than television.</p><p>UPDATE 5/4/2020 <br />As of today, this list has officially garnered 1000 followers! I'm deeply grateful to the support through the years, and although I would have been doing the same thing regardless, the community and engagement has given me new ways to reflect and new ways to go about my writing. <br />As a thank you, I have compiled a separate list of my favorite records of all time which, although less studious, hopefully provides you all with a continuation of our gift of community and the continued desire to always be learning about and engaging with others, and as a result, the world around you. <br />To find the list, please follow this link: <a href="https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Weston_Adam/snippets-of-god/" rel="nofollow">rateyourmusic.com/list/Weston_Adam/snippets-of-god/</a></p><p>UPDATE 6/19/2023 <br />After spending around 5 years (half of this list's life) I have successfully re-watched and rated every film on this list, removing films as they fell beneath a 3&1/2 rating, and can once again get back to watching new work whenever I get around to watching films. Thank you all so very much for your continued love and kindness. May God bless us all.</p>

Movies based on real events
<p>This is fully Ranked in my personal opinion:</p><p>If your favourite isn’t on this list please let me know in the comments and I will 100% watch them.</p><p>You might be asking yourself:<br />“Why tf is that film on this list it’s not a true story”and whilst that may be true if it’s only a little based on true events it’s in this list. </p><p>A film that’s based on real events ≠ A True Movie </p><p>I.E - <b>The Hunt. </b><br />It’s not a true story, however a therapist went to Thomas Vinterbergs house and dropped of case studies that he thought could be good foundations to a film and then Vinterberg took inspiration from a lot of them to create that film.</p><p>Another example being <b>Punch-Drunk Love:</b><br />The relationship story is entirely fabricated but there really was a quirky guy who found a loophole with air miles on pudding cups!</p><p>One film that I love telling people is a true story the most is <b>Before Sunrise:</b><br />Linklater met a girl and spent the whole night with her but never getting her number or email address but told her he would make a film based on their night together; when the film got released he waited around in cinemas hoping she would show up (like in Before Sunset) but unfortunately in 2001 he heard the news that she passed away a year before the first film was ever made. <br />Shattering story but one that excels the experience of the film massively. </p><p>Everything below The Conjuring: The Devil made me do it has not been ranked yet</p>

Roger Ebert's Four-Star Reviews 1967-2007
Spanning the length of Roger Ebert's career as the leading American movie critic, this book contains all of his four-star reviews written during that time. A great guide for movie watching.
Taken from external source. 64 movies missing from original.
Modernity and digitalization equal loneliness and decay (?)
<p>This is continuous work in progress.</p><p>Initially the list's title referred to a major theme in the oeuvres of both Edward Yang and Olivier Assayas.</p><p>Later on I took my selection much broader.</p>
<p>Movies made by auteur directors with a very arthouse sensibility, that happen to be genre movies (e.g. horror films, heist films, martial arts films etc). </p><p>This is not an attempt to sneer at genre movies (which is an attitude I hate and would never be my intention), but just to highlight a particular, distinct subset of film.</p><p>Films do not have to be good to make this list. I myself do not like some of the films here.</p><p>Suggestions welcome.</p><p><br />I'm just going to clarify a little what sort of films belong on this list, as I originally envisioned it. Here are some great arthouse / high art films that aren't genre films: <i>Moonlight</i>, <i>The Tree of Life</i>, <i>In the Mood for Love</i>, <i>Persona</i>, <i>Andrei Rublev</i>. Here are some great genre films that aren't arthouse / high art films: <i>Alien</i>, <i>The Texas Chain Saw Massacre</i>, <i>Die Hard</i>, <i>Hot Fuzz</i>, <i>The Good the Bad and the Ugly</i>. Some of these may be borderline, but I hope the gist can be understood.</p><p>List capped at 500 films for now. One in, one out policy.</p><p>---</p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/tag/lists:-suggestions/lists/" rel="nofollow">Contribute to my other lists here.</a></p>
The World is Hell: Hopeless Cinema
<p>Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.</p><p>It doesn't matter if we all die.</p><p>Suggestions welcome.</p><p><br />NOTE: the criteria for films on this list is not merely that they have sad endings. In fact, sad endings are not even a requirement.</p><p>DISCLAIMER: This list started off as the first fifty-ish. All subsequent films are suggestions. I have therefore not seen all films on this list.</p><p>ADDITIONAL NOTE: This list has grown way beyond what I expected. I also understand that some are dissatisfied by the films in this list. I sympathise. This was not the list I set out to make. <i>Sátántangó</i> and <i>Salò</i> are not the same as <i>Fight Club</i>. But every single one of these films was suggested by someone. To someone, each of these films matched the title of this list. So this isn't my personal project any more, this is a community list. It should also be said that due to this, please do not expect this list to be nuanced. The title is a generalisation and different degrees of hopelessness are reflected across these films.</p><p>FURTHER NOTE: As this list became unwieldy and difficult to maintain, I have decided to cap it at 1000 films for now. For every suggestion I add, I now remove a film. So it is a rotating list of depressing movies. Feel free to politely tell me which films you think don't belong here. </p><p>---</p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/tag/lists:-suggestions/lists/" rel="nofollow">Contribute to my other lists here.</a></p>

films that are elevated or sophisticated in their themes, style, and execution, often blurring the lines between traditional genre conventions and arthouse or experimental cinema. These movies are often considered to be a combination of commercial appeal and artistic merit, combining elements of popular genres such as crime, science fiction, or horror, with more serious and thought-provoking themes, innovative cinematography, and a focus on character development. High art genre movies are often more character-driven and less reliant on conventional plot structures, and they challenge the audience's expectations while providing a unique and engaging viewing experience.

Movies of this genre were characteristically shot in black and white, and featured stories involving femmes fatales, doomed heroes or anti-heroes, and tough, cynical detectives.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p><b>Neo-noir</b> (English: New-black; from the Greek neo, new; and the French noir, black) is a style often seen in modern motion pictures and other forms that prominently use elements of film noir, but with updated themes, content, style, visual elements or media that were absent in film noir of the 1940s and 1950s.</p></blockquote><p>Descriptions taken from Wikipedia.</p><p>See also: <a href="https://letterboxd.com/fight_professor/list/corrupt-cops-on-the-decline/" rel="nofollow">Corrupt Cops on the Decline</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/fight_professor/list/gambling/" rel="nofollow">Gambling</a></p>

Movies with a STINGER/AMBIGUITY/TWIST in the LAST SHOT.
<p>Not to be confused with movies with a surprise or twist ending where audience would have some time to process the change. No. This list is for the films which have that last shot which leaves you gobsmacked and gasping for breath. Movies where the last shot 1.introduces a new twist in the narrative or 2. confirms the foreshadowed twist or 3. adds an extra bit of information in the story which changes the understanding of the forgone narrative or 4.just some fucked up shot which doesn't make sense but surprises you nonetheless- IN THE LAST SHOT (or penultimate for flexibility) and then fades/cuts to black.</p><p>For example- The Sixth Sense won't belong to this list.</p><p>Note: This list won't contain spoilers- so be relaxed, unless you consider it a spoiler that the movie has some sort of twist in the end.</p><p>OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.</p>

Happy in particular to see <i>Letter from an Unknown Woman</i>, <i>The Heiress</i> and multiple documentaries place here. And 9 of the top 10 are pretty perfect, so I guess I'll have to see <i>Big Night</i>!</p><p>I've made a list of some great endings that aren't on this list <a href="https://letterboxd.com/brianformo/list/best-film-endings-not-on-vultures-top-101/" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>

"It makes no damn sense. Compels me though."
<p>Films that make "no damn sense", either in terms of narrative or concept, or in terms of cinematic form. </p><p>UPDATE: This is not a list of films which cannot be understood. Of course these films can be understood, have obvious themes, and be visually interesting. This is just a fun list of films where the plot is surreal, with a goofy quote for a title.</p><p>Suggestions welcome.</p><p><a href="https://tenor.com/view/knives-out-it-makes-no-damn-sense-compels-me-though-benoit-blanc-daniel-craig-gif-18728195" rel="nofollow">tenor.com/view/knives-out-it-makes-no-damn-sense-compels-me-though-benoit-blanc-daniel-craig-gif-18728195</a></p><p>------------------</p><p><b>Response to criticism:</b></p><p>I'm aware that many Letterboxd users whom I admire and respect hate this list. I've seen people on Twitter say this is "the worst Letterboxd list" and "films that make no damn sense if you are dumb" and that "HE SHOULD DELETE THIS LIST". I've seen people attack my character and say I am "sad", "insufferable", a "bozo", and have "terrible taste". I particularly resent the accusations that I am too dumb to understand these films ("who’s the bozo getting confused at Cache?"; "if you were so confused by videodrome ... i’m slightly concerned for you"; "Absolutely fascinated how people like this even find a movie like Horse Money"; "This is a list made by a 17-year-old kid... They clearly are drawn to interesting films, but may not be able to understand why just yet").</p><p>I have written many long pieces on some of these films, and their meanings, and their themes (ironically some of these reviews have been "liked" by those critiquing my intentions with this list). The accusations that I'm a moron unable to analyse the form and themes of movies are insulting. People are taking this too literally. Maybe I should have chosen a better title, but I just wanted a fun list of films where the plot is metaphorical or surreal, as opposed to naturalistic or possible. I also wanted this list to promote deep and powerful films, but instead people have assumed I am saying this is a list of films I am too moronic to understand and am not recommending. That was never my intention. Peace.</p><p>---</p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/tag/lists:-suggestions/lists/" rel="nofollow">Contribute to my other lists here.</a></p>

> Welcome to 2012's edition of the 1,000 Greatest Films. This will be the last update prior to the publication of the 'earth-shattering' Sight & Sound poll which will be unfurled later in the year. The Sight & Sound results will no doubt have a major impact on TSPDT's 1,000 Greatest Films listing. It will become the most heavily weighted poll within our calculations. Anyway, that is then, and this is now."

Community Favourites: Every Feature Film* on Letterboxd with a 4.0 Rating or Higher [Updated for 2026]
<p><b>2026 UPDATE</b>: I have fully rebuilt this list from scratch in January 2026 and it is now updated through to 2025's films.</p><p>*As with the last full update, I have had to raise the minimum view count in order for a film to qualify for this list, however I have introduced a sliding scale that allows older films to qualify with fewer views than more recent releases. I've decided to implement this change to stop this list from getting much larger than it already is whilst still preventing too many older favourites from falling away.</p><p>Starting with a 25k minimum view count for films released in 1920s, it raises by 5k each decade until we hit the 1970s with 50k. It then rises by 10k each decade (e.g. 60k for the 1980s, 70k for the 1990s), until we hit the 2020s where 100k views are required. As with prior updates, this list does not include documentaries, TV shows or TV movies, short films, and I have also excluded straight to home video releases this time around.</p><p><b>2023 UPDATE</b>: Another apology is due from myself to this community as I have let this sit idle for far too long (again). I'm back on Letterboxd now and have updated this list for 2023.</p><p>As I mentioned in 2020, the growth of this site required me raise the minimum view count from 2k to 4k. I think we need to bump that again, so I'm now setting a minimum view count of 15k for feature films to be eligible to make this list in order to prevent it from becoming too bloated. </p><p>The same rules apply regarding film length (40 mins or above), and documentaries, concert films, and TV shows remain excluded. The film still requires a 4.0 rating, which included movies rated 3.95 and above if Letterboxd rounds this number up to 4.00.</p><p><b>2020 UPDATE</b>: I'm sorry to have left this sit idle for so long! Given that I've not updated this for well over 3 years, I'm going to be going through the original process of cataloging all of these movies and make sure this list is as accurate and as up-to-date as possible. Whilst I'm doing this the list will be heavily edited down and up again as I start from scratch again. I'll be deleting and re-adding movies decade-by-decade.</p><p>I've decided to make a few changes, which will be reflected in the revised list:</p><p>* TV shows and comedy specials have now been excluded from the list, as have short films (40 mins or less, as per the Academy's guidelines).<br />* I've also decided to omit documentaries as some can be multi-episode affairs and I wanted to keep this list relatively streamlined.<br />* I have upped the minimum viewing requirement from 2k to 4k, to reflect the large increase in Letterboxd's userbase since the day I started this list. It is supposed to be the Community's Favourites, after all.</p><p>Decade-by-decade breakdown, with changes in numbers from last update at the end of 2016:</p><p><b>1920s</b>: 17 (no change)<br /><b>1930s</b> 19 (up 1)<br /><b>1940s</b>: 39 (no change)<br /><b>1950s</b> 70 (up 9)<br /><b>1960s</b>: 93 (up 22)<br /><b>1970s</b>: 79 (up 13)<br /><b>1980s</b> 72 (up 16)<br /><b>1990s</b> 89 (up 13)</p><p>---</p><p><b>ORIGINAL POST</b></p><p><i>This is what happens when your car breaks down on a Sunday morning and you have nothing else to do for the rest of the day.</i></p><p>The following is a comprehensive list of every film currently holding an average rating of at least 4.0 (out of 5) on Letterboxd that has also been viewed by at least 2000 members of the site. I've gone through each decade and added all films that apply to this list. If this gets enough interest and/ or I can be bothered, I will seek to update it on a semi-regular basis.</p><p>You can see the breakdown of the films in terms of the decades in which they were released below.</p><p><b>1920s</b>: 17<br /><b>1930s</b>: 18<br /><b>1940s</b>: 39<br /><b>1950s</b>: 61<br /><b>1960s</b>: 71<br /><b>1970s</b>: 66<br /><b>1980s</b>: 56<br /><b>1990s</b>: 76<br /><b>2000s</b>: 74<br /><b>2010s</b>: 53</p>

/r/TrueFilm Canon (1000 films)
<p>In April 2018, the subreddit /r/TrueFilm voted for a canon of 1000 films. Close to 300 users submitted a list of 50 films each. These are the results:</p>
1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (2003-2026 editions)
<p>All the films from all the editions through 2026, including those subsequently removed, presently totaling 1,272 films The November 2024 edition <i>1001 Filme: Die Sie sehen sollten, bevor das Leben vorbei ist</i> has only been released in German so far, but I think I've got the additions here. The most recent edition was released on October 27, 2026 and they are here as well. Some single entries in the book consist of multiple films. I've added all the films they list in the entry. I've tried to be as accurate and complete as possible, but if you spot any errors or omissions, please let me know. Currently this is listed newest to oldest, but there are options to sort lists chronologically, alphabetically, by average Letterboxd rating, etc. </p><p><a href="https://www.moviepilot.de/liste/1001-244-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die-all-editions-dazlious" rel="nofollow">www.moviepilot.de/liste/1001-244-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die-all-editions-dazlious</a></p>

TIFF Cinematheque's Best of the Decade
> Toronto – Beginning January 21, 2010, TIFF Cinematheque presents The Best of the Decade: An Alternative View, a curated series based on a poll conducted by TIFF Cinematheque’s Senior Programmer James Quandt. An esteemed panel of over sixty film curators, historians, archivists and programmers from festivals, cinematheques and similar organizations around the world participated and were asked to pick the films they thought were the most important of the past decade. The poll’s participants are connected by their leadership in the field of historical film curation, with most having published books, essays and polemics on cinema, bringing perspectives that distinguish this poll from other end-of-the-decade polls.
>
> “Their perspective,” says Quandt, “should give us a longer view of the films made in this decade, the films that should stand the test of time and be acknowledged as historically influential works in the decades to come.” The poll includes works by venerable masters such as Abbas Kiarostami, Agnès Varda, Ingmar Bergman, Jean-Luc Godard and Pedro Almodóvar; directors who broke onto the international scene in the past 10 years, including Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Carlos Reygadas, Cristi Puiu, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Jia Zhang-ke and David Cronenberg; and indie renegades like Gus Van Sant, Pedro Costa and Lucrecia Martel. It also features many pleasant surprises, from the inclusion of a largely unknown film, Valeska Grisebach’s Longing (2006), which was highlighted during TIFF Cinematheque’s Berlin School series last Winter, to the strong showings for films that were not necessarily well received on their initial outings, such as Gus Van Sant’s Gerry (2003) and Claire Denis’s L’Intrus (2004).
