1001 Greatest Movies of All Time (2020 Edition)
/u/StopReadinMyUsername on reddit created a list called "1001 'GREATEST' MOVIES OF ALL TIME" in 2015.
Since this list is still very popular, he posted an updated list on reddit in April 2020.
For this list he combined the average scores from IMDb, Letterboxd, Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic, and tweaked the results with data from Letterboxd, iCheckMovies, TSPDT?, TMDb and IMDb.

Tearjerkers
I made this list to remind me before watching or rewatching so I can prepare myself. Some provoke happy tears but I still want to know ahead of time. I hate crying. It causes headaches and stuffy noses.

<p>"LA LA LAND was soooo amazing! This is the movie! I'll see it at least 10 times! Want the OST so bad!"</p><p>"Game Creator: 70% of my body is made of movies."</p><p>Links to tweets are included in notes. Includes movies that were shown as part of the Kojima Productions movie bulletin.</p>
Anti-Capitalist, Anti-Imperialist and Anti-fascist ‘Canon’
<p><b><i>For <a href="https://boxd.it/tHRB" rel="nofollow">Zebra</a></i></b></p><p>I get asked a lot about good left wing or anti-capitalist (or anti colonialism, anti imperialism, anti fascism). I kept giving off the cuff suggestions and feeling I was missing so many out. </p><p>When Zebra asked me, I wanted to do it right. So, I made this.</p><p>Note: it only goes on the list if I’ve seen it and think it’s a good vessel for its politics. This is not a comprehensive list of leftist cinema, this is a curated selection of suggestions for people who want to watch great, and potent, leftist films.</p><p><a href="https://boxd.it/cALDK" rel="nofollow">Here is a list</a> of the films that people have claimed ‘do not belong’ here. It’s… interesting.</p>
My Favorite Movie Posters
<p>Just a list of some pretty cool movie posters on the LB database. I haven't seen most of these movies. Arranged (messily) by aesthetic.</p><p>For an interesting aesthetic view as opposed to regular rainbow sorting, I recommend sorting the list by "When Added"</p>
<p>Movies For People Who Want The Aesthetics of the Past But With The Humor of the Present</p>
Movies I wish were what inspired me to make my own movies instead of Inception (2010)
<p>It was the 8th grade. It truly did wow me, im sure if i rewatched it, id find it still really good. But I cant lie, im a little embarrassed that its what led to me wanting to be a filmmaker. Especially when there are other movies i now think wouldve been better filmmaker awakening movies for myself then Inception (2010).</p>
<p>every lgbt feature length i've seen ranked by my personal favourites. notes are mini, spoiler free reviews so you know what you’re getting yourself into! </p><p><i>not including: subtle subtext, side/ensemble characters only, bait, documentaries, short films, tv specials, or films adopted by gay culture - <a href="https://boxd.it/8GmO0" rel="nofollow">here’s a accompanying list for this</a></i></p><p>LATEST ADDITIONS:</p><blockquote><p>-I Dream in Another Language, <i> dir. Ernesto Contreras, 2017</i>(no. 78)<br />- Cruising, <i>dir. William Friedkin, 1980 </i>(no. 53) <br />- Wittgenstein, <i>dir. Derek Jarman, 1993</i> (no. 104)</p></blockquote><p><i><b><br />disclaimer ! </b></i>i’ve been adding to some form of this list since 2015 now - it actually started in my notes app just for fun and transferred to letterboxd as a sort of rec list. for that reason, there’s some variation in how detailed each entry is and you can probably tell which films were watched several years ago and not revisited. </p><p>because i’ve been adding to this for so long, i’d also like to say don’t take my rankings too seriously! this list is personal to me and not a definitive, objective ranking. just because a films in the lower half doesn’t mean it’s bad, or that i didn’t like it. the only films i wouldn’t actually recommend are 135-157, and all for various reasons - some i think are just not worth watching, some i think there are way better versions of the same story, some are just generally bad films.</p><p>i have considered just binning the rankings completely, but the reason i posted this in the first place was just a personal project, weeding out the generic, the boring, the subtextual, the 'it has one gay character in the background so it's being tagged as queer cinema.' if you’ve stumbled across this list and we have different tastes, check out the filtering tools! there's tons of brilliant, lesser known films here you might miss out on. also, if you want a recommendation based on anything at all, i’d be more than happy to pick some for you.</p><p>something else to note is that this isn’t a curated list, it’s literally just whatever i feel inclined enough to watch. i have considered writing in the notes which identities are represented, but a lot of the time it's not black and white - for example, in funeral parade of roses (1969), the film depicts who we’d now consider transwomen, but are referred to as ‘gay boys’ in the film. to continue, i understand that positive representation and all that jazz is important to people, but it’s not 1962 anymore and we're not bringing back the hays code. i won’t be filtering out everything unsavoury, too sexual, too asexual, weird, or outdated. boooo censorship!! on this list, we have a little fun.</p>
If you like (American film) watch (foreign film)
<p>Odd numbers are American films and the next even number is the corresponding recommendation</p><p>*NOTE “foreign film” is, like everything, a dumb made up concept. it’s a concept that has A LOT to do with race/economics and imo isn’t just a matter of ‘X film has British director so it’s foreign’ ‘Y film has American producers so it’s American’ the purpose of this list, for me, is to expand my horizons. so like putting a film like ‘Dunkirk’ as a foreign film isn’t something I want to do because while it does have a British director and cast and producers it is also an American blockbuster, it’s not a film Trump would complain about winning Best Picture while ‘Parasite’ is, for obvious reasons. </p><p>hopefully this makes sense and clarifies how I classify certain films on here. I really appreciate being able to have these conversations here and again want to say thank you to everyone that’s contributed to this list :-)</p><p>ALSO I love how collaborative this list is and am trying to get on top of suggestions so please continue to suggest film pairings (especially any African, Middle Eastern or South American cinema!) I am going to try to add a little description to entries so please include that with future suggestions thank you!! 💚🐛</p>
lgbt films with happy endings
<p>spoiler warning, inevitably.<br />very happy for recommendations</p>
<p>cynical filmmaking is all well and good but sometimes i just want to watch people being nice to each other</p>

<p>Films with any lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual, agender, aromantic, questioning, bigender, third gender, queer, non-binary, or otherwise not cisgender or heterosexual content.

<p>Films with a Marxist, pro-labor, proletariat, pro-union, feminist, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-colonial or social justice creed. Everything from social-realist cinema to documentaries is worth discussing here.</p><p>Edit: I decided to change the name from Socialist to Communist because I realized that there was already a plethora of 'socialist' lists. </p><p>Further note: To address the comments about "appropriate" movies, I regard this list as a series of recommendation for revolutionaries.

Period films arranged by date of setting
<p>This is a list of period films organized by the year or decade they were set in. Within each year they are organized oldest to newest by release date. </p><p>I have tried to limit this list to live action period pieces. I have included films with fantasy and horror elements but excluded films that are animated. Films that fall into a grey area (for example set historically but not costumed historically) I simply make a decision on but could probably be swayed by various arguments.</p><p>Nelly (2016) is the film in this list set closest to the present. Any films following that have been added but not yet arranged.</p><p>Please recommend any films I have missed, especially ones set and made outside of England and America!</p>
<p>Motion pictures with history, concepts, and characters related to anarchy, anarchism(s), or produced by anarchists.</p><p>Anarchy here refers to the full range of its use including; political rebellion, disorder or chaos; rhizomatic multiplicity; contingency and continuous difference and differentiation; without absolute or universal principle or permanent foundation; spontaneous order; auto/self-organization; unity between order and freedom; order without rulers, gods, masters, authority, or hierarchy; a free and equal society without a state or capitalism; social relations without command and obedience or domination and subordination; or, a self-managed and federated social order free of domination and exploitation.</p><p>Anarchism here refers to a specific ideological family found within historical, social movements, emerging during the 1860s-70s, that is distinctly revolutionary, socialist, and anti-authoritarian. The most notable groups for defining and founding the ideology was the <a href="https://robertgraham.wordpress.com/we-do-not-fear-anarchy-we-invoke-it-a-summary/" rel="nofollow">International Alliance of Socialist Democracy (The Alliance), and the federalist, collectivist, and revolutionary socialist wing of the International Workingmen's Association (IWA or 'The First International')</a>.</p><p>Entries are arranged from most to least relevant. Dubious and superficial representations, including anti-anarchist propaganda and capitalist and fascist appropriations, are ordered at the bottom.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------<br /><b>LEARN MORE</b></p><p>Excellent ways to learn about anarchism.</p><p><b>GROUP LEARNING</b><br />Militant Kindergarten from the <a href="https://especifismostudies.org/" rel="nofollow">The Center for Especifismo Studies</a><br />- "[A]n annual 15-week seminar hosted by the Center for Especifismo Studies.

A few similar approaches to define anarchism follow.</p><p>The first approach is a global and theoretical-historical approach argued for by Felipe Corrêa in <a href="https://strangematters.coop/debates-within-anarchism/" rel="nofollow">Bandeira Negra: rediscutindo o anarquismo [Black Flag: Rediscussing Anarchism]</a>. According to this view,</p><blockquote><p>"Anarchism is a socialist and revolutionary ideology that is founded on specific principles, whose bases are defined by a critique of domination and a defense of self-management; in structural terms, anarchism advocates a social transformation based on strategies which must allow for the substitution of a system of domination by a system of self-management."</p></blockquote><p>A second approach is based on Michael Freeden's method of analysing the conceptual morphology of an ideology. Benjamin Franks applies this approach to anarchism in The Oxford Handbook of Political Ideologies, defining social anarchism, the majority tendency within anarchism, as,</p><blockquote><p>"[...] identified by four key concepts that have remained consistently core and stable since the late nineteenth century[...]. These four principles are: (i) the [...] rejection of the state and state-like bodies, which distinguishes anarchism from social democracy; (ii) a rejection of capitalism as a hierarchical and coercive set of norms and practices, which distinguishes it from anarcho-capitalism; (iii) a fluid concept of the self in which one’s identity is inherently linked to socio-historical context and relationships with others, which distinguishes it from forms of egoism; and finally (iv) a recognition that the means used have to prefigure anarchist goals, which demarcates anarchism from the consequentialism of orthodox Marxism."</p></blockquote><p>The more a film represents the global, social history of the broad anarchist tradition, or concepts within the theory or ideological family of anarchism(s), the higher a film is ordered.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <b>INCLUSION RATIONALE </b></p><p>Films included in this list go well beyond any broadly defined anarchist tradition and could be considered a trans-historicist approach to inclusion. If a film includes a representation, theme, concept, topic, or reference related to 'anarchy', 'anarchism', 'anarchist', or 'libertarian' (however dubious the relation may be to historical anarchism), the film is added.</p><p>Films are also included related to anti-state capitalists (self-styled anarcho-capitalists). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propertarianism" rel="nofollow">Propertarians</a> fall well outside any 'river of anarchy'. This confusion in the anglosphere is due to <a href="https://anarchism.pageabode.com/blog/150-years-of-libertarian/" rel="nofollow">attempts since the 1970s to appropriate both 'libertarian' and 'anarchist' from historical anarchism</a>. <a href="https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/robert-graham-joseph-dejacque-the-first-libertarian" rel="nofollow">'Libertarian' has been used by anarchists synonymously since it was coined by a communist anarchist in the 1850s.</a> From its birth, Anarchism has been a militant advocate for equality and freedom, making it staunchly anti-statist and anti-capitalist.</p><p>This inclusion criteria is an attempt to expose the curious to the socio-political theory and practice of anarchism.<br />--------------------------------------------------------------<br />STREAMING</p><p><a href="https://www.solidaritycinema.com/" rel="nofollow">Solidarity Cinema</a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.media/c/stuartchristiearchive/videos" rel="nofollow">Stuart Christie Archive on kolektiva</a><br /><a href="https://unicornriot.ninja/" rel="nofollow">Unicorn Riot</a><br /><a href="http://www.globaluprisings.org/" rel="nofollow">Global Uprisings</a><br /><a href="http://anarchism.org/" rel="nofollow">Anarchism.org</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Cineanarquista/videos" rel="nofollow">Cine anarquista español.

Pride Unprejudiced: LGBTQ+ Cinema
<p>Stepping out of the celluloid closet, LGBTQ+ representations in cinema have become increasingly robust, diverse, and multidimensional. From intimate character studies to boldly experimental features, the eclecticism of queer cinema not only illuminates the richness of our collective human experience but also daringly subverts filmmaking conventions. Just like the delightfully broad spectrum of genders and sexualities, cinematic renderings of queer experiences are cultural mosaics that rise above attempts at classification and categorization. Reflecting this formal dynamism, our electric offering of LGBTQ+ cinema is a celebration of queer artistry and history, spotlighting urgent social issues and the sheer pleasure of unapologetic queer joy.</p><p>Stream your country's selection <b><a href="http://mubi.com/specials/lgbtq" rel="nofollow">here</a></b>.</p>

The 2010s—Top 250 Narrative Features
<p>The 250 highest-rated narrative feature films of the 2010s, according to the Letterboxd community (as at 1 January 2020).</p><p>To be included, films had to be narrative, 60 minutes or longer, have a 1,000-view minimum, and have had a US theatrical or streaming release between 1/1/2010 and 12/31/2019 (with some leeway for films that had no US distribution). We have allowed TV movies, but not direct-to-video. We’ve made a special exclusion to a few titles with illegitimate ratings (i.e. films that share titles with popular TV shows including <i>Stranger Things, Community</i> and <i>The Crown</i>).</p><p>The following eligible films, which were released in their home countries in 2019, won’t have US releases until 2020 and are therefore ineligible (we’re looking at amending this rule in the future): <i>Bacurau, System Crasher, And Then We Danced, Bait, Vitalina Varela, Two Blue Stripes, So Long, My Son, Kim Ji-young: Born 1982</i> and <i>Sorry We Missed You</i>.</p><p><b>Statistics of Interest:</b><br />The busiest directors on this list were Denis Villeneuve and Taika Waititi, with five films each (one of Taika’s was co-directed with Jemaine Clement). With three films each are Hirokazu Kore-eda, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Lee Chang-dong, and Nuri Bilge Ceylan. </p><p>The 21 women directors on the list are Greta Gerwig and Naoko Yamada (twice each), Anna Muylaert, Lulu Wang, Nadine Labaki, Olivia Wilde, Deniz Gamze Ergüven, Ronit Elkabetz, Dee Rees, Nora Twomey, Alma Har’el, Rebecca Sugar, Chloé Zhao, Jennifer Fox, Yoon Ga-eun, Alice Rohrwacher, Lynne Ramsay, Cristina Gallego, Nakamura Shouko, Dorota Kobiela, and Maren Ade. </p><p>Number of films from this list that appear on our other Top 2010s lists: <br /><a href="https://boxd.it/4kPv2" rel="nofollow">Animated Movies:</a> 30<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/4l94g" rel="nofollow">Directed by Women:</a> 20<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/4kPNg" rel="nofollow">International Feature Films:</a> 123 (including animated films)<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/4lrqE" rel="nofollow">Directorial Debuts:</a> 48<br />There are some ranking discrepancies between these lists due to the varying dates of publication—we’ll update all lists early in the new year to correct any omissions (such as <i>Love Exposure</i> and <i>Secret Sunshine</i> from the International Feature list).</p><p>2017 had the highest number of entries (33) in the list, with 2019 close behind (31).</p><p>Best film by year (based on US release):<br />2010: <i>Love Exposure</i><br />2011: <i>A Separation</i><br />2012: <i>It’s Such a Beautiful Day</i><br />2013: <i>Short Term 12</i><br />2014: <i>Whiplash</i><br />2015: <i>Mad Max: Fury Road</i><br />2016: <i>The Handmaiden</i><br />2017: <i>Coco</i><br />2018: <i>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse</i><br />2019: <i>Parasite</i></p><p>Letterboxd Community Award Best Picture winners<br /><a href="http://boxd.it/cduI" rel="nofollow">1st Annual Awards (2014)</a>: <i>Her</i>—#43<br /><a href="http://boxd.it/m7Pg" rel="nofollow">2nd:</a> <i>Boyhood</i>—unranked<br /><a href="http://boxd.it/B07c" rel="nofollow">3rd:</a> <i>Mad Max: Fury Road</i>—#17<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/YqaM" rel="nofollow">4th:</a> <i>La La Land</i>—#107<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/1BeKQ" rel="nofollow">5th:</a> <i>Call Me By Your Name</i>—#24<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/2zZvy" rel="nofollow">6th:</a> <i>Roma</i>—#27</p><p>Number of films on the overall <a href="https://boxd.it/8HjM" rel="nofollow">Letterboxd Top 250</a>: 29</p><p>Additional credit to <a href="https://letterboxd.com/devindulany/" rel="nofollow">Devin Dulany</a> who has been maintaining an unofficial <a href="https://boxd.it/Chb8" rel="nofollow">top 100 films of the 2010s</a> list weekly for the past three years.</p>

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>
CBS Films Inc. was an American film production and distribution company founded in 2007 as a subsidiary of CBS Corporation and was considered a mini-major studio up until 2019.
CBS Films originally was planned to distribute, develop and produce four to six $50 million budget films a year. After October 11, 2019, CBS Films was re-configured to be a production company for television films to be carried by CBS All Access (now Paramount+).
In March 2007, following the 2005 split from Viacom which retained Paramount, CBS Corporation launched CBS Films with the hiring of Bruce Tobey as head of business affairs, legal, finance and video distribution. Amy Baer was hired in September 2007 as president and CEO for CBS Films.[2] With CBS retaining ownership of Showtime and Viacom deciding to launch Epix in 2009 with Paramount films, this division was created to make content for the channel.[3] On November 17, 2009, CBS signed with Sony Pictures for a three-year deal for international distribution.
The studio's launch seemed to well timed to its executives with the closure or restructuring of many film studios including the formerly prominent Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Miramax Films and Warner Independent Pictures. Also CBS was able to well market its films with all its parent corporation's advertising channels from broadcast to billboards.
The studio released its first film, Extraordinary Measures, on January 22, 2010.[1] CBS Films released its second film, a romantic comedy The Back-up Plan, in April 2010. Opening over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, Faster, its third film and the Dwayne Johnson action flick, was weak at the box office with a $12 million start.[9] In August, the company purchased distribution rights for the first time for the remake movie, The Mechanic.[10] CBS moved to replace Bruce Tobey, chief operations officer, with Wolfgang Hammer in November 2010.[9]
After releasing five films and only one gross over $30 million, CBS Films decided to change direction and become an acquirer of films rather than a producer in March 2011. Baer was released after the ended of her contract in October, with a trio of senior executives left to head up the division.
On April 23, 2012, CBS Films named Hammer and Terry Press Co-presidents. Press, who had been consulting for the studio since 2010, oversees creative, distribution, marketing and physical production. Hammer will oversees all business, finance, legal affairs and acquisitions, including financed, co-financed and completed projects for the division.[12] Hammer moved CBS Films into becoming a major film acquisition mover thus allowing internal projects to development more. CBS's highest profile purchase was $4 million for Inside Llewyn Davis which won Cannes' Grand Prix and nominations for two Academy and 3 Golden Globe awards.[13]
On July 22, 2014, Hammer moved from being co-president to being a consultant for digital.[13] In 2015, Lionsgate took over CBS Films' U.S. distribution and global sales functions.[14] In 2017, Deadline.com reported CBS Films would finance Jane the Virgin actor Justin Baldoni's first directing/producing effort based on an original script by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.[15]
On January 12, 2019, it was reported that CBS Films would release four theatrical films in 2019, then be folded into the main CBS Entertainment Group, switching its focus to creating original film content for CBS All Access.[16] Jexi was CBS Films' final theatrical release on October 11, 2019.[5] The ViacomCBS merger, which closed on December 4, 2019, returned Paramount Pictures to being a sister company of CBS, making a theatrical subsidiary for the network superfluous.

Each of the different genres make me feel some typa way so if you're looking for something to watch that is worth your time and not a boring film then hopefully you randomly pick a film from this compiled list and you have a great time! </p><p>if you have any other film in mind that could fit into this list then fire away in the comments and thanks to everyone who has already added!</p>
Top 500 Narrative Features and Documentaries Merged (10/17/2026)
<p>This is a unique list I decided to make at the time of something very special. For the first and possibly only time ever, a brand new release of a film became the highest rated film in Letterboxd history. </p><p>The film is Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's You Can See Everything, and it debuted on opening weekend at a 4.8 rating, which no other film in Letterboxd history has ever achieved. Every narrative feature, documentary, mini-series, short, and unreleased title (aka a unique type of film that doesn't fall in any of those previous categories) has only been able to reach a 4.7 rating.</p><p>There has been subjective talk as to whether You Can See Everything is even a documentary or not due the style and approach of filmmaking the film has. As a way to be fair about it, I decided to merge both narrative features and documentaries to make one Top 500 list. </p><p>To be even more fair, I decided to make the requirements for this list of 25k ratings to match what's required for the regular Top 500 list, and not include any documentary from the Top 250 Documentary Films list that has less than 25k ratings (again, this goes for at the time this list was made as I'm sure some docs eventually made it past 25k later).</p><p>I'm only making this type of list once as just a fun way to acknowledge this incredible milestone achievement for the film You Can See Everything, especially since at the time of making this list, the person responsible for the Top 250 Documentary Films list had still not updated it to include the film at its number one spot.</p>

A personal gay film canon
<p>Some of these movies are ghettoized, and gay people, let alone straight people, rarely get to see or even hear about them. Gay folks have to seek them out via their own news and distribution networks. I'm grateful for torrent forums. So grateful. I've compiled some of them here, along with more familiar mainstream films. I'm including only films I've seen, and for the most part, ones that I can at least recommend as worth seeing.</p><p>These are films focusing on the experiences and perspectives of gay and bisexual men. But I’m still figuring out what a GTM is, by the way, and I've left out films focusing mostly on the experiences of lesbians and trans people, primarily because I think they deserve their own lists.</p><p>At the moment, this list is sorted by rating, from high to low, but I'd like to eventually push the most underseen films to the top, regardless of rating.</p>
