The Statistical 500 Greatest Movies of All Time
From https://letterboxd.com/reelstats/list/the-500-greatest-movies-of-all-time-according/
Hey everyone, great to be back again. Some of you might remember a similar title from a list I made back in April, where I made a list of the top 250 movies with 13 sources, or a preview of this list I made last month.
I want to emphasize that this is NOT an official ranking nor my personal ranking; it is just a statistical and, personally, interesting look at 500 amazing movies. These rankings reflect the opinions of thousands of critics and millions of people around the world. And I am glad that this list is able to cover a wide range of genres, decades, and countries. So before I get bombarded with "Why isn't X on here?" or "How is X above Y?" comments, I wanted to clear that up.
I sourced my data from Sight & Sound (both critic and director lists), TSPDT, iCheckMovies, 11 domestic websites (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, Letterboxd, TMDb, Trakt, Blu-Ray, MovieLens, RateYourMusic, Criticker, and Critics Choice), and 9 international audience sites (FilmAffinity, Douban, Naver, MUBI, Filmweb, Kinopoisk, CSFD, Moviemeter, and Senscritique). This balance of domestic/international ratings made the list more well-rounded and internationally representative (sites from Spain, China, Korea, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and France).
As for my algorithm, I weighted websites according to both their Alexa ranking and their number of votes compared to other sites. For example, since The Godfather has hundreds of thousands of votes on Letterboxd but only a couple thousand on Metacritic, Letterboxd would be weighted more heavily. After obtaining the weighted averages, I then added the movie's iCheckMovies' favs/checks ratio and TSPDT ranking, if applicable. Regarding TSPDT, I included the top 2000 movies; as an example of my calculations, Rear Window's ranking of #41 would add (2000-41)/2000=0.9795 points to its weighted average. I removed movies that had <7-8K votes on IMDb, as these mostly had low ratings and numbers of votes across different sites as well. For both Sight & Sound lists, I added between 0.5 and 1 point to a movie's score based on its ranking, which I thought was an adequate reflection of how difficult it is to be included on these lists. As examples, a #21 movie would have 0.9 points added while a #63 would have 0.69 points.
Any feedback is appreciated, especially other sites I may not have sourced. If you found this list interesting, I would really appreciate it if you can give my newish Youtube channel a subscribe. It really helps a lot. Thanks guys.

Ontology is the philosophical study of being, existance, becoming and reality. In simple terms it seeks to classify and explain entities.
In movies and tv show ontology usually comes in the flavor of an ontological mystery at the center of the plot with several of the following elements: the characters do not know who they are, where they are, how they got to the place there are in, and the central conflict is to get out of there and find answers to the above questions.
In the most common version of the trope, the characters are locked into a strange room or find themselves at a strange place with no contact to the outside. They have no idea how they got there, why they are there or how to get out, nor do they know who is behind their predicament, if anyone at all.
The main idea behind such stories is the investigation of a restricted environment in which the characters find themselves with the goal of mastering the environment, revealing secrets, and ultimately escape.
This list focuses on such stories. I added a few edge cases for good measure, like pure escape room, death game or timeloop movies that have a strong ontological undertone, even though they are not ontological mysteries per se.
If you think something shouldn't be on this list, or if I missed something that should be on here please leave a comment.

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>
<p>A very rough list of eccentric cerebral films - films that are consisted of many wonderful imaginative ideas and creations, that came directly from the vision of the psyche. Sometimes they don't make a lick of sense but they are powerful enough to suck you into their hypnotic and chaotic world(s). This list will be updated constantly.</p><p>Suggestions welcome</p>
<p>This is an attempt at a complete listing of all titles that have been released on DVD and Blu-Ray and under the Criterion Collection label and been given a spine number. To keep numbering consistent where boxsets are not available I added in either a supplement, documentary, or short film from the release as a placeholder.</p><p>For a much more thorough list including all Eclipse and streaming releases, check out Michael Hutchins' list <a href="https://boxd.it/1DvE0" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

In 1952, the Sight and Sound team had the novel idea of asking critics to name the greatest films of all time. The tradition became decennial, increasing in size and prestige as the decades passed.
The Sight and Sound poll is now a major bellwether of critical opinion on cinema and 2022’s edition (its eighth) is the largest ever, with 1,639 participating critics, programmers, curators, archivists and academics each submitting their top ten ballot.
Note: While this list is ranked, several entries are ties, that's the reason why this list has actually 264 entries instead of the 250 entries intended. For a more comprehensibly ranked list as well as more information about it, follow the link below.

<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>
Top 250 Global South Films
<p>As of November 2, 2026. Curated by <a href="https://boxd.it/10efJ" rel="nofollow">Léo Barbosa</a>, extracted from <a href="https://letterboxd.com/countries/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. This list ranks narrative feature films from the Global South by average member rating.</p><blockquote><p><i><b>Changes from the latest update:</b></i></p><p><b>In:</b><br /><i>Baththa (2026) at #32<br />C.I.D. Moosa (2003) at #245</i></p><p><b>Out:</b><br /><i>About Dry Grasses (2023)<br />El Infierno (2010)</i></p></blockquote><p><b>Eligibility rules:</b><br />• There is a 1,000 minimum ratings threshold.<br />• Films must have a Global South country listed as one of their countries of production. Eligibility was then decided by analyzing a combination of the director's nationality, whether the story is set in the Global South, and preferably if it is in a native language of the country (not all are necessary, but these were the main aspects taken into account). Global North and Global South (previously referred to as the Third World) are terms that denote a post-Cold War method of grouping countries based on their defining characteristics with regard to socioeconomics and politics. According to UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Global South broadly comprises Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia (excluding Israel, Japan, and South Korea), Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand), and some of Eastern Europe. Most countries in the Global South are often marked not only by lower average living standards but by a structurally peripheral position within global capitalism, reproduced through uneven geographical development, sustained by mechanisms like the spatial fix and accumulation by dispossession. For diversity's sake, this list excludes Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. For USSR entries, only films from the Soviet Caucasus and Soviet Central Asia are included. Additionally, these countries' cinema often emerges within constrained financing and exhibition ecosystems, relying on transnational co-productions, festival circuits, and alternative distribution to reach audiences, and is frequently marked by formal innovation, linguistic plurality, and politically engaged storytelling shaped by colonial legacies and uneven development. This list attempts to address the lack of promotion received by Global South cinema in the English-speaking mainstream and to encourage people to seek more decolonial cinema.<br />• Films must be feature-length (more than 40 minutes long) with a festival premiere, theatrical distribution or professional streaming release.<br />• This list excludes: documentaries of any kind, self-released web videos, DTV films, recap or recut films, theatre or stage shows, TV series or TV movies, specials or episodes.</p><p><b>Editor’s Notes:</b></p><blockquote><p>See also:<br /><a href="https://boxd.it/PCSVm" rel="nofollow">🌍 Top 500 Global South Films (+TW, HK, USSR)</a><br /><a href="https://boxd.it/SWIki" rel="nofollow">🌍 Top 250 Sub-Saharan African Films</a><br /><a href="https://boxd.it/FPk6U" rel="nofollow">🌎 Top 250 Latin American Films</a></p></blockquote><p><b>Films in the Letterboxd's Top 500:</b> 53/500<br /><b>Director with the most films in the list:</b> Satyajit Ray (12)<br /><b>Actor with the most films in the list:</b> Nassar (8)</p><p><b>Decades represented on this list:</b><br />2020s (32), 2010s (56), 2000s (48), <br />1990s (31), 1980s (30), 1970s (18), <br />1960s (25), 1950s (10).</p><p><b>Genres most represented on this list:</b><br />Drama (229), Comedy (48), Crime (36),<br />Romance (34), Thriller (28), Action (25), <br />Fantasy (17), History (19), War (13).</p><p><b>Languages most represented on this list:</b><br />Spanish: 31<br />Portuguese: 30<br />Arabic: 26<br />Tamil: 23<br />Persian: 20<br />Hindi: 18<br />Chinese: 16<br />Malayalam: 16<br />Bengali: 14<br />Tagalog: 12<br />Turkish: 10</p><p><b>Countries most represented on this list</b> (including co-productions)<br />India: 77<br />Brazil: 30<br />Iran: 21<br />China: 16<br />Egypt: 16<br />Mexico: 15<br />Turkey: 12<br />Argentina: 12<br />Philippines: 12<br />Algeria: 5<br />Thailand: 4<br />Indonesia: 3<br />Georgia: 3<br />Senegal: 3</p><p><b>Most-watched films</b><br />1.

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.

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.

Sight and Sound's Greatest Films of All Time – 2022
<p>Once every decade, Sight and Sound conducts a poll to determine the 'Greatest Films of All Time'. The poll, which collects 'top tens' from thousands of critics, has been running since 1952, and was described by Roger Ebert as "by far the most respected of the countless polls of great movies – the only one most serious movie people take seriously."</p><p>The results of every poll, since the inaugural edition in 1952, can be found on Sight and Sound’s Letterboxd account. Follow us for our latest, and classic, reviews, and for more lists, including individual top tens. </p><p><b> The original introduction from our Winter 2022/23 issue</b></p><p>In 1952, the <i>Sight and Sound</i> editorial team had the novel idea of asking some critics to name the greatest films of all time. Little did they know that their concept would become the bedrock of future canon-building. Invitations were sent by post to 85 critics from ten countries; 63 responded, and a winner emerged: Vittorio De Sica’s <i>Bicycle Thieves</i>, then only four years old. The tradition became decennial, increasing in size and prestige as the decades passed.</p><p><i>Citizen Kane</i> (1941) seized the throne in 1962 and held on through the next four polls, until in 2012 plucky upstart <i>Vertigo</i> (1958) committed a famous act of regicide to become the poll’s third winner. The number of voters invited had grown slowly but surely from 1952 to 2002, but 2012 saw a significant leap, from 145 to 846, beginning a new era of polling with a broader, more international scope to its contributors. Film critics were joined by programmers, curators, archivists, film historians and other academics for the first time. With a new weight of numbers behind it, and a new winner, the poll became big news. The light-hearted game of 1952 had become important.</p><p>And now we arrive in 2022, for the eighth iteration of what is now the most respected poll of its kind. The number of voters has risen yet again, this time almost doubling to a grand total of 1,639, reaching more critics from around the world, more critics of varying ages, genders, sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds, more critics with disabilities. The typewritten invitations of 1952 have become mass mail-outs feeding into a bespoke database. Perhaps an even more significant change since 2012 has been the rise of social media. Lurking behind the question “What do I think are the greatest films of all time?” has always been another: “What will other people think of my choices?” Now that question is louder and more urgent than ever.</p><p>When you turn through the next 60 pages, you’ll see for yourself what impacts these changes have had, in what is perhaps the biggest shake-up in the poll’s history. But allow us to give you a spoiler-free overview of some of this edition’s biggest trends.<br />Twenty-first-century cinema has arrived with a bang, with nine titles from 2000 onwards in our top 100 – up from two in 2012 (<i>Mulholland Dr.</i> and <i>In the Mood for Love</i>). Time has, of course, allowed some of these newer titles to consolidate their status as modern classics, but it is also the case that four titles here were released in the past ten years, and have immediately imprinted themselves on to the collective consciousness of our critics. With seven films from the silent era also present, the list has never been more representative of the span of cinema history, with films from 1924 to 2019 – our apologies to the first 30-odd years.</p><p>Animated film appears for the first time in the top 100, with two Studio Ghibli titles nestled near to one another in the rankings. Ghibli was already popular with voters, with two titles sat between #150 and #250 in 2012; this further push towards canonisation suggests a new open-mindedness towards a medium historically dismissed as children’s entertainment. The fact that Ghibli’s films are now available on Netflix may have helped them reach a wider audience, too.</p><p>But most significant of all has been the increased diversity of the filmmakers represented in the list. Films by women did not rank in the poll until 2012, when Chantal Akerman and Claire Denis appeared in the top 100; ten years on, the top 100 has 11 films directed by women, including two in the top ten. Two of those films (one from the 1970s, one the 1990s), having received no votes in 2012, have now received dozens. Another welcome change is the increased representation of Black filmmakers. Djibril Diop Mambéty, present in the 2012 top 100 with <i>Touki Bouki</i>, has been joined by one other African filmmaker and five African Americans. We hope that, with these changes, the list our contributors have formed gives a better picture of the whole world of film. Cinephiles may regret the decline of some established classics, which have dropped down the rankings to make way for new entrants (though other classics have moved up). We like to think of it as new friends joining the party, rather than old ones being booted out.</p><p>— Thomas Flew</p>

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
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.

Psychedelic Films Compilation
<p>Psychedelic definition: of or noting a mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of either euphoria or despair</p><p>This is a compilation of multiple lists gathered from reputable psychedelic sites and popular lists on reputable film sites. The films are ranked based on how many of the lists they appeared on (can be seen with the notes feature). This list features projects of all genres and lengths, anything considered psychedelic by one or many of the sources. A note on bias: many of these lists are older, and there is a general tendency for some of the higher ranking films to be older. I will continually work to consistently update and gather from new sources to mitigate this. Take note of when the sources were published, which I have put in parentheses if I got that information.

Top 250 Latin American Films
<p>As of November 2, 2026. Curated by <a href="https://boxd.it/10efJ" rel="nofollow">Léo Barbosa</a>, extracted from <a href="https://letterboxd.com/countries/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. This list ranks Latin American narrative feature films by average member rating.</p><blockquote><p><i><b>Changes from the latest update:</b></i></p><p><b>In:</b><br />Gugu's World (2026) at #114<br />Valentin (2002) at #236<br />Bye Bye Brazil (1980) at #246</p><p><b>Out:</b><br /><i>Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures (2005)<br />Our Time (2018)<br />Barren Lives (1963)</i></p></blockquote><p><b>Eligibility rules:</b><br />• There is a 1,000 minimum ratings threshold.<br />• Films must have a Latin American country listed as one of their countries of production. Eligibility was then decided by analyzing a combination of the director's nationality, if the story is set in Latin America, and preferably if it is in a native language of the country (not all are necessary, but these were the main aspects taken into account). The term "Latin America" here is used more broadly to refer to all of the Americas south of the United States, thus including the Guianas (French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname); the Anglophone Caribbean (and Belize); the Francophone Caribbean; and the Dutch Caribbean. This definition emphasizes a similar socioeconomic history of the region, which was characterized by formal or informal colonialism, rather than cultural aspects.<br />• Films must be feature-length (more than 40 minutes long) with a festival premiere, theatrical distribution or professional streaming release.<br />• This list excludes: documentaries of any kind, self-released web videos, DTV films, recap or recut films, theatre or stage shows, TV series or TV movies, specials or episodes.</p><p><b>Editor’s Notes:</b></p><p>ES/PT:</p><p><b>Reglas de elegibilidad:</b><br />• La lista solo incluye películas con al menos 1.000 valoraciones.<br />• Las películas deben tener al menos un país latinoamericano entre sus países de producción. La elegibilidad se definió a partir de una combinación de factores, como la nacionalidad del director, que la historia transcurra en América Latina y, de preferencia, que esté hablada en una lengua nativa del país. No es necesario que todos estos criterios se cumplan al mismo tiempo, pero sí fueron los principales elementos tomados en cuenta.<br />• Aquí, “América Latina” se entiende en un sentido más amplio: todas las Américas al sur de Estados Unidos. Esto incluye las Guayanas (Guayana Francesa, Guyana y Surinam), el Caribe anglófono (y Belice), el Caribe francófono y el Caribe neerlandés. La idea es poner el acento en una historia socioeconómica compartida, marcada por el colonialismo formal o informal, más que en una definición puramente cultural.<br />• Las películas deben ser largometrajes, con más de 40 minutos de duración, y haber tenido estreno en festival, exhibición en salas o lanzamiento profesional en streaming.<br />• La lista excluye documentales de cualquier tipo, videos autopublicados en internet, películas lanzadas directamente a video, recapitulaciones o remontajes, obras o registros teatrales, series de televisión, telefilmes, especiales y episodios.</p><p><b>Regras de elegibilidade:</b><br />• A lista considera apenas filmes com pelo menos 1.000 avaliações.<br />• Os filmes precisam ter pelo menos um país latino-americano entre os países de produção.

Letterboxd Top 500 Films History Collected

BFI: 2012 Critics top 250 films

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>

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>
No Plot Just Vibes (complimentary)
<p>Movies where the plot is either minimalist or does not follow a traditional Hollywood story instead delving into surrealism, slice of life character study etc. Either way the focus is more on the visuals, music and overall atmosphere than a traditional Hollywood narrative.</p>
<p>All the films mentioned by Gilles Deleuze in Cinema 1: The Movement Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image because someone had to do it. From the back cover of the former:</p><p><em>First published in France in 1983, this is at once a revolutionary work in philosophy and a book about cinema. For Deleuze, philosophy cannot be a reflection of something else; philosophical concepts are, rather, the images of thought, to be understood on their own terms. Here he puts this view of philosophy to work in understanding the concepts—or images—of film.</em></p><p>Cinema, to Deleuze, is not a language that requires probing and interpretation, a search for hidden meanings; it can be understood directly, as a composition of images and signs, pre-verbal in nature. Thus he offers a powerful alternative to the psychoanalytic and semiological approaches that have dominated film studies.</p><p>Drawing upon Henri Bergson’s thesis on perception and C. S. Peirce’s classification of images and signs, Deleuze is able to put forth a new theory and taxonomy of the image, which he then applies to concrete examples from the work of a diverse group of filmmakers—Griffith, Eisenstein, Pasolini, Rohmer, Bresson, Dreyer, Stroheim, Buñuel, and many others. Because he finds movement to be the primary characteristic of cinema in the first half of the twentieth century, he devotes this first volume to that aspect of film. In the years since World War II, time has come to dominate film; that shift, and the signs and images associated with it, are addressed in Cinema 2: The Time-Image.</p><blockquote><p><strong>MISSING</strong><br />L'amour d'une femme (<em>Jean Grémillon, 1953</em>)<br />Appunti su un fatto di cronaca (<em>Luchino Visconti, 1953</em>)<br />C'était un Québecois en Bretagne, Madame (<em>Pierre Perrault, 1977</em>)<br />La concentration (<em>Philippe Garrel, 1968</em>)<br />Le rideau cramoisi (<em>Alexandre Astruc, 1953</em>)<br />Les enfants du placard (<em>Benoît Jacquot, 1977</em>)<br />La fête espagnole (<em>Germaine Dulac, 1920</em>)<br />France/tour/detour/deux/enfants (<em>Jean-Luc Godard & Anne-Marie Miéville, 1977</em>)<br />L'homme atlantique (<em>Marguerite Duras, 1981</em>)<br />Images pour Debussy (<em>Jean Mitry, 1951</em>)<br />The Last Moment (<em>Pál Fejös, 1928</em>)<br />Hadduta misrija (<em>Youssef Chahine, 1982</em>)<br />Mon coeur est rouge (<em>Michèle Rosier, 1976</em>)<br />Narkose (<em>Alfred Abel, 1929</em>)<br />Paris vu par... vingt ans après (<em>Chantal Akerman et al., 1984</em>)<br />Le pays de la terre sans arbre ou Le mouchouânipi (<em>Pierre Perrault, 1980</em>)<br />Un pays sans bon sens!

Top 1,000 Films of All Time (Calculated)
<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>

📽️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

1001 Latin American Movies You Must See Before You Die
<p>As a proud Latin American, I realized I've been significantly lacking in my knowledge and appreciation for the cinema of my own people. After a lot of research, I began curating this list as a sort of guide to remediate this problem, and hopefully help spread awareness towards our cinema.</p><p><b>Como orgulloso latinoamericano, me he dado cuenta de que me falta mucho por conocer y apreciar el cine de mi propio pueblo.

Eligibility was then decided by analyzing a combination of the director's nationality, if the story is set in Latin America, and preferably if it is in a native language of the country (not all are necessary, but these were the main aspects taken into account.)</p><p>All comments, suggestions, and discussions are welcome, I will be updating the list as I see fit.</p>
<p>2000 films to see before you die, chronological order. Not a list consisting of my favorite films, but rather the ones that I feel are most essential to a cinephile, be it regarding quality, relevance or even solely popularity. This method results in a list with many films I don't even like, but feel one should give a try if possible. I tried to concile my personal judgement with a more analytical one in most of the choices here, but of course ended up adding many of my favorites too. Obviously there are many essential films I still haven't watched and didn't add - the idea is trying to update this list every one or two years to see how it develops. 27/04/2022</p>

Edgar Wright’s 1,000 Favorite Movies
<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>

Mis 50 películas innegociables (Roberto Amaba)
<p><i>Hace unos años, cuando me tomaba más en serio esto del cine, detestaba las listas. Me parecía el típico ejercicio cinéfilo y siempre he intentado no pertenecer al gremio. Ahora sigo siendo igual de insoportable que entonces pero algo menos tocahuevos, y he terminado por dar a esta maravillosa afición una distancia más saludable. Puedo hacer una lista, veinte, o cambiarla por completo al día siguiente sin tener que recurrir al omeprazol. No valía la pena seguir pensando en su utilidad o interés, porque una frivolidad semejante aguanta mal las preguntas.</i></p><p><i>Antes de ponerme a cribar -es la primera vez que realizo una lista tan amplia- volví a ver unas cuantas con las que tenía dudas. Las típicas películas que piensas que has terminado idealizando: un primer y único visionado impactante, la asociación con algún estado de ánimo, un momento determinado de la vida, el peso de la opinión global o de cierta individual a la que respetas, la consideración histórica, etc. Porque sí, admito que soy muy influenciable, por lo menos en un primer acercamiento. Lo considero una puerta abierta al conocimiento que ya habrá tiempo de cerrar si se comprueba el fraude. Ninguna se me ha caído por estas razones y he comprobado, con alegría, que todas las que pasaron por la cuarentena salieron de ella sin infección.</i></p><p><i>No hay extravagancias, me atrevería a asegurar que unas cuantas de las aquí listadas entrarían entre las favoritas de cualquier otra persona, por poquito que haya visto. Me llamaron la atención varias cosas durante el proceso de elección, sobre todo ver cómo se repetían ciertos temas, paisajes, formas, actores o la posición, digamos moral, de algunos personajes.</i></p><p><i>Tampoco me he impuesto muchas condiciones, nada de limitar años o nacionalidades, sólo no repetir director y no meter cine experimental. Dos normas tan caprichosas como el mismo hecho de realizar la lista. No repetir director cuesta “poco”, no incluir cine de vanguardia bastante más. Salvo una excepción eliminé los restantes que amenazaban con entrar. Creo que ahora mismo mantengo una relación más académica-analítica que emotiva con ese tipo de cine que, con todo, me fascina.</i></p><p><i>Orden cronológico.</i></p>

They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? - 1,000 Greatest Films (2012)
The 2013 edition can be found at http://trakt.tv/user/sp1ti/lists/they-shoot-pictures-dont-they-1000-greatest-films-2013.
> 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."

VOTE: Best Comedy Films of All Time
<p>Made this list for my friend <a href="https://letterboxd.com/renegadeprof/" rel="nofollow">Alex</a>. Since comedy is his favourite genre, I thought it'd be fun to find the Letterboxd community's most loved comedy films.</p><p>In the comments below, vote for up to 10 comedy films. 1 point goes to each film you pick, and you don't have to rank your selections. What counts as a comedy film is up to you, and I'll only question particularly unusual picks. Films don't have to already be on the list, you're welcome to induct new entries.</p><p>You can change your votes at a later time if you want.</p><p>The list is sorted by points, then alphabetically by film name.</p><p>Other votes I run: <a href="https://boxd.it/1KtuQ" rel="nofollow">Directors</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/1RK5s" rel="nofollow">Sci-Fi Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/1Ysjg" rel="nofollow">Romance Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/21vTi" rel="nofollow">Animated Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/25oeK" rel="nofollow">LGBTQ+ Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/289aO" rel="nofollow">Horror Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2c5Ig" rel="nofollow">2000s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2c5Mi" rel="nofollow">1990s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2ecq8" rel="nofollow">1980s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2mosc" rel="nofollow">1970s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2w0xC" rel="nofollow">1960s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2LGZo" rel="nofollow">1950s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2LHbE" rel="nofollow">1940s Films</a> | <a href="https://boxd.it/2oBhU" rel="nofollow">2018 Films</a></p><p>VOTING IS NOW CLOSED</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>
Cult & Bizarre & Psychedelic: A Personal Guide
<p>This is merely a personal guide for the bizarre and weird stuff I've been watching or want to watch in the future. It is not based or inspired on any book nor does it have a specific theme. If you're into these kind of flicks, have fun finding new titles.</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
<p>All the films listed in the popular <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1001_Movies_You_Must_See_Before_You_Die" rel="nofollow">1001 Movies...</a> book series. Contains more than 1001 titles because every new edition adds new titles and removes others. Also, some single entries in the book consist of multiple titles on Letterboxd. This list covers all the films in the English language editions published from 2003 to 2021, presently totalling 1245.</p><p>This is not my personal selection of films and I have no affiliation with the books or publisher. 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. I'd recommend seeking out one of the published books if you want to read up on the reasoning behind any particular film's inclusion or find out more about the list.</p><p>I've tried to be as accurate and complete as possible, but if you spot any errors or omissions, please, do let me know.<br />Currently in chronological order of release.</p><p>RIP Chip Lary <a href="https://letterboxd.com/tipsfromchip/" rel="nofollow">@tipsfromchip</a>. Thanks for all the help, encouragement and enthusiasm in putting this list on Letterboxd.</p>
In Memoriam: Dead Users of Letterboxd
<p>The Letterboxd users I found who have the “Memoriam” badge — meaning they died but their profiles were preserved.</p><p>The actual Letterboxd list consists of their favorite films, and the description below includes a list of the last films they watched. Please make sure to explore their profiles.</p><p>If you ask in the comments, I'll also add profiles that don't have the badge yet.</p><p>To get the badge for my friend, I contacted Letterboxd at help@letterboxd.com and they kindly agreed to help. They requested "a link to an obituary, photo of remembrance or memorial card, or similar."</p><p><b>Date: Profile — Last Film</b></p><p>Aug 2, 2026: <a href="https://letterboxd.com/mavisseafoam/"

ALL-TIME FAVOURITE FILMS! (TomReviewsFilmz)
<p>Ongoing list of my all time favourite films. In chronological order. 1000+ films. Yes, I really do like "Mannequin", it's a banger.</p>
The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time, According to Statistics
Hey everyone, great to be back again. Some of you might remember a similar title from a list I made back in April, where I made a list of the top 250 movies with 13 sources, or a preview of this list I made last month.
I want to emphasize that this is NOT an official ranking nor my personal ranking; it is just a statistical and, personally, interesting look at 500 amazing movies. These rankings reflect the opinions of thousands of critics and millions of people around the world. And I am glad that this list is able to cover a wide range of genres, decades, and countries. So before I get bombarded with "Why isn't X on here?" or "How is X above Y?" comments, I wanted to clear that up.
I sourced my data from Sight & Sound (both critic and director lists), TSPDT, iCheckMovies, 11 domestic websites (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, Letterboxd, TMDb, Trakt, Blu-Ray, MovieLens, RateYourMusic, Criticker, and Critics Choice), and 9 international audience sites (FilmAffinity, Douban, Naver, MUBI, Filmweb, Kinopoisk, CSFD, Moviemeter, and Senscritique). This balance of domestic/international ratings made the list more well-rounded and internationally representative (sites from Spain, China, Korea, Poland, Russia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and France).
As for my algorithm, I weighted websites according to both their Alexa ranking and their number of votes compared to other sites. For example, since The Godfather has hundreds of thousands of votes on Letterboxd but only a couple thousand on Metacritic, Letterboxd would be weighted more heavily. After obtaining the weighted averages, I then added the movie's iCheckMovies' favs/checks ratio and TSPDT ranking, if applicable. Regarding TSPDT, I included the top 2000 movies; as an example of my calculations, Rear Window's ranking of #41 would add (2000-41)/2000=0.9795 points to its weighted average. I removed movies that had <7-8K votes on IMDb, as these mostly had low ratings and numbers of votes across different sites as well. For both Sight & Sound lists, I added between 0.5 and 1 point to a movie's score based on its ranking, which I thought was an adequate reflection of how difficult it is to be included on these lists. As examples, a #21 movie would have 0.9 points added while a #63 would have 0.69 points.
Any feedback is appreciated, especially other sites I may not have sourced. If you found this list interesting, I would really appreciate it if you can give my newish Youtube channel a subscribe. It really helps a lot. Thanks guys.

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.

Best Examples of Surrealism in Cinema!
Surrealism in cinema refers to the use of dreamlike and irrational elements in films to create a unique visual style that challenges conventional notions of reality. It originated from the artistic movement of surrealism in the 1920s and 30s, which sought to tap into the subconscious mind through the use of irrational imagery and symbolism. In film, surrealism often employs techniques such as discontinuous editing, unexpected imagery, and the use of special effects to create a dream-like atmosphere and to challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The aim of surrealist films is to provoke an emotional and intellectual response from the audience, and to blur the boundaries between the conscious and the unconscious mind.
The Ultimate Guide to Surreal Cinema
<p>These films are a celebration of the <i>Surreal.</i> Not simply films that are "strange" or "weird" for aesthetic purposes, but the films that delve into the unconscious and pick apart reality. </p><p>These films do not necessarily fall under <i>André Breton's</i> school of <i>Surrealism</i> though the themes of psychoanalysis , automatism, anti-fascism and the uncanny are all welcome. The <i>Surreal</i> is <i>Surrealism and more.</i></p><p>Feel free to leave suggestions.</p>

Every Film Taught by Stan Brakhage in His Classes (1970-2001)
<p>This is a complete list of films shown by Stan Brakhage over the course of his 30-year teaching career at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and CU Boulder. I compiled this from his syllabi, which are held at the Brakhage Archive at CU. This is part of the research for my in-progress Brakhage biography, but I thought it might be of general interest. </p><p>With a list, you miss a lot of context. For instance, this doesn’t distinguish between films that Brakhage taught dozens of times in a wide range of courses (e.g., Cocteau, Eisenstein, Anger, Menken) and those taught once for a specific course (e.g., films starring Charles Laughton). Also, this is not exactly a list of Brakhage’s favorite films. He mostly taught films that he loved (or, in his parlance, that he distinguished as “an art”), but he also taught films that he disliked, especially in his contemporary cinema survey at CU, where he screened Godard, Bergman, Coppola, and other directors whom he did not much appreciate.</p><p>If a list of Brakhage’s favorite films and directors is of interest, the following is, in my opinion, nearly complete:</p><p>Georges Méliès, Walter G. Chase’s actualities of epileptic seizures, D.W. Griffith (which he later recanted), Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy (some), Entr’Acte, Symphonie Diagonale, Man Ray, Sergei Eisenstein, Aleksandr Dovzhenko, Dziga Vertov, Luis Buñuel (1929-33 only), Jean Cocteau, Jean Vigo, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Leni Riefenstahl, James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber, Joseph Cornell, Orson Welles, Douglass Crockwell, Sidney Peterson, James Broughton, Odd Man Out, In the Street, Venom and Eternity, Christopher Maclaine, Kenneth Anger, Willard Maas, Marie Menken, Jim Davis, Jordan Belson, Bruce Conner, Bruce Baillie, Will Hindle, Robert Breer, Peter Kubelka, Harry Smith, Ken Jacobs, Jerome Hill, Andrew Noren, Ricky Leacock, Paul Sharits, Hollis Frampton (some), Serene Velocity, Gunvor Nelson, and Jack Chambers. In the 1980s and ’90s, he began to really appreciate Werner Herzog, Oskar Fischinger, Len Lye, Andrei Tarkovsky, Sergei Parajanov, Larissa Shepitko, Jim Otis, Jim Herbert, R. Bruce Elder, Phil Solomon, Frederick Wiseman, and John Cassavetes.</p><p>The only course not represented in this list is his 1977 “Monograph on Brakhage” class at SAIC. The screening list was Brakhage’s entire oeuvre up to that point shown chronologically. I did include in the list Brakhage films that he showed to his classes in other, more general contexts, as I think this is revealing. Note that … (reel 1), Faustfilm: An Opera, Roman Numeral I, and Song 1 stand in for the complete series of which they are the first part (I didn’t want to enter them all in). </p><p>There were also a few plays filmed for TV that are not on Letterboxd.</p>

Of course these films can be understood, have obvious themes, and be visually interesting.

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>
