<p>This list was derived from several sources back in 2015-16. For that reason, there may be some inconsistencies with Quentin Tarantino’s current tastes.</p><p>Also, being taken from entertainment journalism, this is not a definitive list of his favorites, but should be viewed as a rough idea of what he has commented on and expressed interest in over the years.</p><p>Regardless, there are quite a few old or obscure titles in this list (sprinkled in with the likes of <i>Fight Club</i> and <i>The Matrix)</i>, and unless you’re a very accomplished film mega-nerd, I think you’ll find something new and interesting.</p>

<p>You all heard about that famous book called <i><b>"1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die"</b></i>, right!? <b>There has been many editions of that book</b>, and I saw bunch of lists here inspired by that book. <b>But the thing is, those books are always more of the same, and you'll find more of the same movie titles in all those books, repeating year after year.</b></p><p>But I say, lets forget about that book, and lets all make something completely different here...a unique list that will only share the same name with that book, and not much more!<br />But, here's the thing...to do that, I'm going to need your help! Now, I'm not sure that I'm popular enough to make this happened simply because the entire project relies on the help of other members of Letterboxd, and to make it work, this list must be seen by as many people as possible! So its very possible that this project will die and fail sooner then later. But I'm willing to try!</p><p><b>So yeah, I need your help to create this list! Everybody can participate...every member on Letterboxd who stumbles on this list and is willing to add movies that he think people should see (before they die). Everything goes (except short movies)! It doesn't matter if its some cheap (but hopefully great) little movie, or well known blockbuster, or simply a well known classic. If you think that the movie deserves to be on this list, just mention that movie title in the comments section, and I will placed it on the list, that's all.</b><br />Basically, all of you are creating this list, I will be just editing, and of course, will be adding some of my own movie titles that I think should be on this list.</p><p>Now, to avoid the chaos in the comment section, here is couple of rules (please, stick to them)...</p><p><i><b>1. Each member can post only one movie title per comment. Next to the title you can write a few words about why you think that movie should be on the list, or why people should see it. Or if you already wrote the review for that movie, you can post the link of your review next to the title, and I will add that link under Notes.</b></i></p><p>2. You can't post two comments with movie titles in a row, one after the other. Give others a chance to participate, and wait for someone else to post his title after you comment. If you do post two (or more) comments/titles in a row, I will simply ignore that second comment, and just add the first you posted.</p><p>And that's about it as far as the rules goes. If I notice that we need more rules for some reason, I'll just add them here and inform you about that in the comment section...</p><p>As for the updates of the list...well, I have my own life and things to do, so I won't be updating this list "every 5 minutes". But I will try to do it on daily basis (if its possible), as soon as I find the time to do that.</p><p>Now, what do you say Letterboxd community!?? ARE YOU IN!?? If anything, it should be at least a lots of fun (I hope)...so <b>LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPENED!!!</b></p><p>PS. I'm starting this list with fantastic Korean movie A HARD DAY...</p><p><br /><b>EDIT</b></p><p>CONCLUSION</p><p>Well, first of all, I want to thank everyone who participated in creating this list! Of course this list wasn't created by ALL Letterboxd members (as is stated in the title of the list), not even close, but nevertheless, there was a large number of Letterboxd members who were part of this unique project. I won't name anyone because that simply would not be fair to the rest, and it would take to much time...so once again, thank you ALL, you know who you are! After all, your names and nicknames are written next to the movies you suggested.</p><p>If you told me 5 months ago that this list will be finished in a five months, I would tell you <i>"No way!! You're crazy!!"</i>. But here we are, having a finished list with 1001 movies! All thanks to you good people, and thanks to Letterboxd crew who promoted this list on couple of occasions trough their Twitter and Facebook accounts.<br />When I started this project, I didn't really believe that I will finish it! You see, I started this project twice before, on two different forums, and both times, projects simply died after 200-300 movies. People just lost their interest. And since Im not really much popular here, I had a feeling that this project won't reach many people. so it will go unnoticed. But as you can all see, things played out just nicely...</p><p>And speaking of popularity...I know that some will think different, but the truth is that I never did this to gain popularity, or anything like that. As I said earlier, this was just an interesting idea, a social experiment so to speak, that I've tried to do before, but the whole thing failed...twice! So I said to myself...<i>"well, they say that third time's a charm, so let me try again, on a different platform, Letterboxd"</i>. And indeed it worked like charm!</p><p>As for the list...I would say that this is very interesting and unique list, based completely on different opinions from people all around the world. There were some obvious choices, some interesting choices, some weird choices, and some really questionable choices! Some people wrote why they think that the movie they suggested deserves to be on the list, and some didn't do that. Unfortunately, I didn't insist on those "explanations", but maybe I should have, because it would be interesting to hear/read why some of the movies end up on this list. For example, there is couple of movie here that are on IMDb Bottom 100 list, and I hope they didn't end up here because people who suggested those just wanted to be sarcastic or something like that. Personally, I don't think that every movie from this list deserves to be on this list, but I'm not here to question anybody's opinion. It is what it is, and as I said, its based strictly on different opinions from all kind of people...and everybody are entitled to their own opinion, and that's the beauty of it!</p><p><i><b>Now, before I finish this conclusion, lete me just give you some statistics. We have:</b></i></p><p>- 2 movies from 1910's<br />- 23 movies from 1920's<br />- 32 movies from 1930's<br />- 37 movies from 1940's<br />- 54 movies from 1950's<br />- 101 movies from 1960's<br />- 104 movies from 1970's<br />- 129 movies from 1980's<br />- 152 movies from 1990's<br />- 201 movies from 2000's<br />- 166 movies from 2010's</p><p>We also have...</p><p>- 56 animated films<br />- 40 documentary films <br />- 32 westerns<br />- 184 action films<br />- 112 horror films<br />- 114 science fiction films</p><p>For more detailed statistics I need more time, but for now, this will do I guess. </p><p>The next logical step would be of course to watch all these movies, but that's hell of a challenge, and honestly...Im not ready for that challenge yet hehe! But I'm sure that among many Letterboxd members there are people willing to accept that challenge! If you are among those people, and you read this, let me know in the comment section how are you doing with the challenge, and how many movies from this list you saw already.</p><p>Anyway...that would be it. Once again, bi, big, BIG THANKS to all those who participated in creating this list! Who knows, maybe one day someone releases this list as book or something haha...</p><p>PS. I have an idea for something similar, but genre related, but will see when and if I will start those projects...</p>

<p>This is a comprehensive listing of all films selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry since 1989. Not surprisingly, due to the fact that the Registry goes beyond just popular feature films to include the widest variety of culturally significant documentaries, animation, experimental films and short subjects, that some more obscure titles often don't appear in the TCMb database until added later.</p><p>A new list of 25 selections to be added to the National Film Registry for that year is announced by the end of December. To nominate films to be added to the National Film Registry for the next round, visit <a href="https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/nominate/" rel="nofollow">www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/nominate/</a><br />_______________________________________________________<br /><i>List updated 2026-02-02 with the 25 latest selections for the National Film Registry (announced Jan. 29, 2026, delayed due to government shutdown from December 2025).</i></p><p><b>LIST FOREVER INCOMPLETE</b> <i>[Updated 2025-12-27] See comments below for the reason why the Zapruder Film keeps dropping off this list. Nothing I can do about it, except to say that those who do it on here and TMDb continue to be IDIOTS. (You are aware that standards and rules should constantly be reviewed and possibly amended to fit the needs of the current situation, don't you? Whatever your personal opinions of the film, the Zapruder footage is a significant piece of not just American culture but also history, and its inclusion on the NFR list speaks to that. Maybe expand your standards just enough to include it?) </i></p><p><i> [Updated 2025-12-27] "Zora Lathan Student Films" has been added to the list, but we shall see how long that lasts.</i></p><p><b>LIST INCOMPLETE</b> <i>[Updated 2024-12-25] Despite user "pattp's' best efforts, Letterboxd keeps removing the entry for the Zapruder film from the site. The Zapruder film has come and gone a few times now since creating this list. Don't know who keeps removing it, but they are an idiot. It's a legit, existing film, even if seemingly homemade, and evidence of a terrible crime.</i></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>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>This list combines all votes from Directors and Critics at the S&S polls. The minimum for qualification was 4 votes overall. Read notes for the vote total and critics/directors' discrepancies. I used the directors' votes as tiebreakers since there are fewer of them than critics.</p><p>The <b>Sight and Sound Poll of the Greatest Films of All Time</b> is conducted by <i>Sight and Sound</i>, a British monthly film magazine published by the British Film Institute (BFI).

<p>With the help of Letterboxd, I created this expanded crowdsourced list of 286(!!!) SENSUAL CINEMA titles as suggested by Twitter users from my thread back in April:</p><blockquote><p>Doing a list of essential SENSUAL CINEMA for my own education. Sensuality to me is less about onscreen sex than desire. What’s your favorite movie about sexual DESIRE? <a href="https://t.co/ogN2XdVmod" rel="nofollow">pic.twitter.com/ogN2XdVmod</a>— Isabel Sandoval (@Isabelvsandoval) <a href="https://twitter.com/Isabelvsandoval/status/1381335671554650113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow">April 11, 2021</a></p></blockquote>

<p>**Last updated January 2026; complete through 2025**</p><p><b>Titles Currently Missing</b></p><p>Nicholas Brothers Family Home Movies (1934-1950)</p><p>You can find the official National Film Registry, and essays on many titles, here <a href="https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing/." rel="nofollow">www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing/.</a> Since I began this list, occasionally people have let me know when a film is missing, when it is an incorrect version, when a missing film becomes available, etc. I greatly appreciate this, so do not hesitate to let me know if something is wrong!</p><p><b>Notes</b></p><p>1) Films that are part of a larger collection have a note as to which collection it was added as a part of. That is why there are more entries on this list than the film registry; I try to include all of the films rather than just a single placeholder, if possible.</p><p>2) The Zapruder Film keeps getting added and disappearing. I have no idea what the problem with it is; other home movies are included, maybe it's because technically it's a snuff film? Makes no sense to me, but I add it when people bring it to my attention that it is back. Maybe someday it will be permanent.</p><p>3) Let's All Go to the Lobby has been removed. If it reappears, I will add it again.</p>
