I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Interesting lists, Camo, thanks. I'm particularly interested in the 21st Century one - the all-time you can pretty much guess which classics will be there, but there are lot of films from the past few years that it might take a while for people to get round to them and appreciate them. I want to watch more 21st century films (alongside women directors and 30s movies for the mofo lists, obviously ) and that looks like a great place to start.

My stats:

43/50 for the top 50
487/1000 of the top 1000
205/999 of the second list (possibly more, I found three I hadn't checked off on the first page or two already)
318/1000 of the 21st Century list (which is higher than I thought it would be)
142/1000 of the horror (no surprise, it's not really my genre)



Good thread, cheers Camo. It's interesting that there's only 3 films made in the last 17 years in the top 175.

Of my personal top 10 movies:

My #1 = lower than 500th
My #2 = Not on the list
My #3 = Not on the list
My #4 = in the top 100
My #5 = in the top 150
My #6 = in the top 5
My #7 = in the top 100
My #8 = not on the list
My #9 = in the top 500
My #10 = in the top 75



Sorry if I'm rude but I'm right
Also the list on Letterboxd for anyone who has it since it tells you how many you've seen - https://letterboxd.com/oscarkit316/l...-2018-edition/
763.

Perhaps the best list of its kind, only second to Movies that deserve a cookie,

The Wire is the one missing from that. Including The Wire i've seen 385/1000.



I can understand why Twin Peaks is on the 21st century list but why is The Wire on there?

Some site must have had it on their best 21st Century films list. Not sure who. It's seen as one of the best pieces of art of the 21st Century by many so i'm guessing some film focused site or critic felt so passionately about it that they wanted to include it, the site or critic possibly didn't do TV and they wanted to mention it. Just a guess i'm not sure what happened.
