Spanning the length of Roger Ebert's career as the leading American movie critic, this book contains all of his four-star reviews written during that time. A great guide for movie watching.
Taken from external source. 64 movies missing from original.

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.

<p>The good stuff, the niche stuff; the stuff you watched as a film student and didn't appreciate at the time, the stuff you watched at a long-lost lover's best friend's party, the stuff you caught at 2 am as a seven-year-old and only found again at the age of twenty-three... and so on. </p><p>Under 20k views as of 30/11/23</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>

<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>

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

<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>

"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>The list is organized by spine number. I used Jim Carrey, Mike Myers (Austin Powers), Adam Sandler, Tyler Perry, and Anna Faris movies as placeholders for boxed sets that aren't in TMDb. Details for replacement films are in the notes for those entries</p><p>---<br />Updated 7/9/2026<br />Spine numbers through 1328 were added.</p>

<p>A cumulative list "includ[ing] all films in all editions" of the <i>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die</i> book series. Shamelessly copied from <a href="http://1001films.wikia.com/wiki/The_List" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />Presence on this list is in no way an endorsement.</p>

<p>If you're feeling overwhelmed, but still want to squeeze a film into your daily routine, this list is made for you. Basically the only criteria is 90 minutes or less, 30 minutes or more, and I have to like it (or think that it looks interesting).</p>
