What do you think is the best "best of" film list?


Out of all the lists that have been done of the best films of all time, which list do you think is the best? I think the 1000 Greatest Films list on the website They Shoot Pictures is the best one. It has a great selection of films from all over the world, from the silent era to the contemporary era. It is compiled based on thousands of other best of lists. Here is the link:

I have a hard enough time picking my top 5 movies of the moment. I have no idea how to pick out of the top 1000. I do look forward to hearing what everyone else likes.

I have only seen 5 - 1/2/3/7 and 9. Good to see The Searchers so high. It usually around 30 or 40 on these lists.

reply

I have seen all 10 of the top 10. I have seen about 570 of the films on the list.

The RT top 10 is hilarious. The list I like most is Empire´s.
