<p>There are many statistically-minded lists available. Generally, they are either based on averages or cumulative presence in lists. This list attempts to bring the two together, with a composite score that uses Letterboxd, IMDb, and Metacritic scores as well as a quantification of the movies' presence on several lists (enumerated below). </p><p>As anyone who has more than a passing interest in movies can see, the three main questions in movies are, in reverse order: What do you hate? What are your favorites? and What do you recommend? I would describe the results of these calculations as a consensus of recommendations without knowing a person's individual taste or movie knowledge. On that score, it doubles as a list of the films someone "should" see. Not as a historian, necessarily, but as a participant in "the conversation".</p><p>[You can also see the list of <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-5000-films-of-all-time/" rel="nofollow">5,000 films here</a> and by Decade below.]</p><p>| <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-through-the-1920s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">-1929</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1930s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1930s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1940s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1940s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1950s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1950s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1960s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1960s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1970s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1970s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1980s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1980s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-1990s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">1990s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-2000s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">2000s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-2010s-calculated/" rel="nofollow">2010s</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/prof_ratigan/list/top-films-of-the-2020s-calcaulated-1/" rel="nofollow">2020s</a> |</p><p>I started with a list of about 30k titles gleaned from many Letterboxd lists, IMDb data, and other sources and crunched the numbers. I limited composite scores to those above 500 IMDb votes. Votes were normalized against the maximum votes on that website to account for the differing traffic, so the Highest Voted movie would be a 1.00 and the lowest 0.01. I weighted the differing website rating according to my own sense of importance with Letterboxd almost 2x IMDb and Metacritic about half of IMDb. I also included weighting by year to account for the significant recency bias in online vote tallies. That weight was Votes x (1+((2000-Year)/100).</p><p>The way that I quantified movies on lists like Sight & Sound was to give those films a sort of fictional rating as if it were from IMDb. So, for instance, Vertigo, at #1 on Sight & Sound's Top 250 got 100, Citizen Kane got 99.96. Lists where there was no ranking all received 100. Sight and Sound, Palme D'or, and Oscar Winners received the greatest weight, which was about 10x a Oscar nomination outside Best Picture and about twice the Golden Bear or AFI Top 100.</p><p>Most Frequent:<br />Year<br />1975 ... 24<br />1960 ... 23<br />1959 ... 22<br />1962 ... 22<br />1964 ... 22<br />1968 ... 22<br />1966 ... 21<br />1961 ... 19<br />1974 ... 19<br />1963 ... 18</p><p>Year Adj<br />1975 ... 24<br />1960 ... 23<br />1968 ... 22<br />1964 ... 22<br />1962 ... 22<br />1959 ... 22<br />1966 ... 21<br />1974 ... 19<br />1961 ... 19<br />1963 ... 18</p><p>Decade Top 1k<br />1960s ... 192<br />1950s ... 147<br />1970s ... 143<br />1980s ... 103<br />1940s ... 102<br />1930s ... 87<br />1990s ... 81<br />1920s ... 50<br />2020s ... 46<br />2000s ... 35</p><p>Director<br />16 ...

Added Sight & Sound votes, set IMDb vote threshold to 2,500, tweaked the calculation to ignore RT Audience scores with under 500 votes, set Letterboxd vote threshold to 1,250. (1/7/22) Altered the weighting by year to better reflect the number of films represented per year. (2/23/2023) Removed the Letterboxd Top 250 (as that's essentially double-counting) and Rotten Tomatoes because that's become impossible to keep up to date through automation.

<p>List made from the book <b>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die</b>. This list just from the 2026 edition, so you'll not see deleted movies as in other list.</p><p>Also my list sorted backwards, thus i think it's easier to watch this way from newer movies.</p><p>By popular demand - collections that were used in the book were switched to first entry only, e.g. Toy Story, Olympia and Fellowship of the Ring, Dune, Ivan the Terrible.</p>

<p>I don't usually post others' best-of/essential film compilations, since there are too many of them to keep track of, but Bill Hader's list from <i>Poking a Dead Frog</i> is really impressive. Hader is quite the cinephile, and it's a nicely varied set of films. Mostly I just wanted to see how many I'd already viewed, and it's hard to beat Letterboxd for figuring that out. :) (For the record, I've seen 135 of the 200, so I've got some work to do!)</p>

<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>

"1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" is a film reference book edited by Steven Jay Schneider with original essays on each film contributed by over 70 film critics. This list holds the 1001 movies that are referenced in the only Danish edition from 2007.
My goal is to watch all 1001 before I die :) I have currently watched 367... Still quite a long way.
The list is originated from the work of sp1ti and his list here: http://trakt.tv/user/sp1ti/lists/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die

<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>

/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.

<p>My first 'Noirvember' challenge!</p><p>⏳<b><i>Progress: 19/90</i></b>⌛</p><p>While having a conversation with <a href="https://letterboxd.com/lawrencetalbot/" rel="nofollow">Nick Feldman (@LawrenceTalbot)</a> on the comments' section of one of his lists, I learnt that he was running a <a href="https://letterboxd.com/lawrencetalbot/list/nicks-noirvember-challenge-2026/share/I7RELnBPTxydYOLk/" rel="nofollow">Noirvember challenge for next month</a>; in a bid to see if it'd work for me, I decided to try and compile a list that would help me learn more about noir around the world. As Hooptober has taught me, I love my list-compiling just as much as I love watching the movies at the end of the day, and I hope that my inaugural try with <a href="https://letterboxd.com/lawrencetalbot/list/nicks-noirvember-challenge-2026/share/I7RELnBPTxydYOLk/" rel="nofollow">Nick's Noirvember Challenge</a> is just as memorable and eventful! If you want to join in, go through his list of criteria and his <a href="https://letterboxd.com/search/m:LawrenceTalbot+noir/?adult" rel="nofollow">various lists about noir</a>; you might find lots of resources to help make the list-compilation interesting. </p><p>More recently, I also discovered that <a href="https://letterboxd.com/savagebob/" rel="nofollow">@SavageBob</a> runs a <a href="https://letterboxd.com/savagebob/list/the-big-noirvember-a-film-noir-challenge-3/" rel="nofollow">similar annual challenge</a> with his own categories. Initially feeling that I'd missed out on participating there, I thought what the heck, and I'm adding 30 additional films for his criteria too!</p><p>I've decided to stick with Nick's categories for all of the movies here (symbol=>➡️), add 30 additional categories of my personal choice (symbol=>⏩), and decided to add films satisfying @SavageBob's categories here (symbol=>🔜); the ones I'll rewatch will either be the ones sans a review that I'll update post-rewatch, or ones I've watched previously but never logged on Letterboxd. Some films are subject to change if I am not able to find them. </p><p>I know this is utter insanity, but so be it. Unlike my Hooptober challenge, I will not strictly adhere to watching 2 (in this case, 3) movies a night, and will treat weekends like a cable channel if required (as an example, I watched 5 movies on Oct 24, 2026). All reviews, as one would expect after such a mammoth task, will be brief. </p><p>A very nice Noirvember to those who celebrate!</p><blockquote><p><b>♠️QUICK EASY RULES:♠️</b></p></blockquote><p>🕵️♂️<b>One For Nick's Noirvember Challenge:</b>🕵️♂️</p><p>➡️1.

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.

<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>

A bunch of films with White people in them, and can involve White culture. They have to show them in a positive light, that's really it. This is built off Yggdrasil's pro-White list and many others from forums/greentext boards. These are what I'd consider great films, most of which teach good morals, that feature predominantly White casts. Given the extreme anti-White rhetoric plaguing American mainstream right now, it's nice to have a reliable list of watchable films. This list encompasses all genres, that's why it's a mess.
If you have a problem with this list existing, move on. There are plenty of racial pride lists for other ethnicities on Letterboxd, including black nationalism. This is just to catalog the best of cinema featuring Europeans.

They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? (TSPDT) is a modest but growing film resource dedicated to the art of motion picture filmmaking and most specifically to that one particular individual calling the shots from behind the camera - the film director.
This list is based on TSPDT's 1,000 Greatest Films, a list compilated by Bill Georgaris using thousands of best-of/all-time lists.

<p>This list of personal favorites was <a href="https://mubi.com/lists/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies" rel="nofollow">assembled</a> by Edgar Wright and Sam DiSalle in July 2016, and is semi-regularly updated. Films are ordered by year, and alphabetized within each year (our list matches MUBI’s source list order, but some films are listed under alternative names).</p><p><b>Note from Edgar, August 2026:</b></p><p><i>Ten years ago, I discovered a 700-strong list on MUBI entitled ‘Edgar Wright’s Favorite Movies’, which came as something of a surprise, as I hadn’t written it. Though the American spelling of ‘favourite’ was a clue.</i></p><p><i>The list had been created by Sam DiSalle, so I reached out to ask how he had compiled it. He explained that it included every film I had ever said I liked in interviews, articles and polls. I asked if I could edit it and, over the next few months, after much addition and subtraction, gave him enough further suggestions to bring the grand total up to a round 1,000 films.</i></p><p><i>Every now and then I update it and thought I would do so ten years on. It is a very personal and entirely subjective selection of favourites from more than 100 years of cinema. Some people get extremely riled up about films they perceive to be ‘missing’, so please be warned: any comments along the lines of “What, no…?” will be deleted. It’s only one person’s list, and the great news is you can absolutely make your own. In fact, I encourage you to! <br />I enjoy keeping the list fluid for my own pleasure, amusement and reference. I’m sharing a recently updated version in the hope that you’ll have fun poring over it and diving into some films you haven’t seen, or perhaps haven’t even heard of. I should also apologise to my friends at <a href="https://x.com/1000filmsblog" rel="nofollow">@1000filmsblog</a> for adding and removing titles. I really don’t mean to increase your workload! Anything that has ever appeared on the list remains valid; I simply like to cycle films in and out according to rewatches and new discoveries.</i></p><p><i>And, of course, enormous thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it all together and maintain it over the years. Links to his <a href="https://mubi.com/en/lists/edgar-wrights-favorite-movies" rel="nofollow">MUBI</a> and <a href="https://boxd.it/h19BQ" rel="nofollow">Letterboxd</a> versions of the list are below. Film-watching is a lifetime pursuit, and there are still so many others out there for me to see. I hope these two lists are a great place to for you to start. Please give my regards to your eyeballs!</i></p><p><b>Note from Edgar, August 2016:</b></p><p><i>“This is a personal and subjective list of 1,000 favourite movies from 100 years of cinema. It’s not a set text or intended as any bible of ‘greatest’ films. I decided to put this together as a fluid list for my own enjoyment, amusement and reference. I hope it’s fun for you to pore over and dive into some of the films you haven’t seen or haven’t heard of.</i></p><p><i>Don’t get all riled up about omissions or which movies you think should be favourites of mine, the truth is I may very well like / not like or not have seen the movies you think are missing. In fact, I like way more than 1,000 movies, but any longer and this list would be really insane.</i></p><p><i>Thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it together. If you feel so inspired, make your own list. Film watching is a life-time pursuit and there’s many more films out there for me to see. This site is a great place to start.”</i></p><p>Last updated in August 2026.</p>

Edit 2024: I've added this list in years ago but it got surprisingly popular on trakt. For prosperity sake: I don't remember the edition of the book... it is an inconsistent mix up to the 5th edition which was published in 2008.

The Ealing comedies is an informal name for a series of comedy films produced by the London-based Ealing Studios during the period 1947 to 1957. Hue and Cry (1947) is generally considered to be the earliest of the cycle, and Barnacle Bill (1957) the last,although some sources list Davy (also 1957) as the final Ealing comedy.

<p><strong>Note from Edgar, March 2020:</strong></p><p><em>“To get you through these tough times, please enjoy a generous helping of SOME of my favourite screen comedies that I’ve enjoyed over the years. I could easily do another 100 so don’t say ‘Where’s so and so?’. Just sit back and enjoy the movies. Let us know below, which ones raise a smile. (NB: No, I'm not so immodest to put my own on here. x)”</em></p>

I have just put this list on Letterboxd because the lists here are a really convenient way of seeing how many you've watched or finding films to try out.

<p>Doesn't the title of the list explain it well enough? This is a list of hight quality "short" films. Easy as that.</p><p>The quality may differ from person to person, I'm not even a fan of all these films myself. Overall, I think there's more than enough interesting titles here for every man or woman considering themselves a cinephile.</p><p>PS: I haven't seen them all myself, so don't come blaming me if they turn out to be bad! ;)</p><p>NB! Oh, some of the titles exceed the 90 min limit by two or three minutes, but I've included them anyway!</p>
