They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They?
They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They’s 1,000 Greatest Films project has gradually become one of the most referenced film listings on the internet. It comprises the 1,000 most critically acclaimed films of all time, based on They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They’s calculations (utilising over 16,000 critics and filmmaker lists, including all the filmmaker selections at LaCinetek). Included here is a selection of a mere 30 of these 1,000 titles. They have been chosen fairly randomly, but embody nicely the astonishing quality of cinema through the years. Silent cinema is represented, as are screwball comedies, film noir, 50s melodrama, the Nouvelle Vague, and arthouse cinema.
