The One-Line Review Presents “1000 Films from the First Century of Cinema that Every Self-Respecting Film-Buff Should See at Least Once”

I present a list, not of my own personal favourites, but a list of films that every serious filmlover should really see at least once. In fact, I rather disliked a number of films on the list, and many more were little more than diverting, but they are all films that have many admirers and/or have great historical or social value. And furthermore, I didn’t include many films that I admire greatly, simply because I am perhaps in the minority in doing so. That’s not to say that some subjectivity hasn’t crept in to my selection making, but for the most part, this is a list that goes some way towards definitiveness, or at least reaches for it in a fairly honest way.

Filmmakers, actors, genres, major film-producing nations, movements – just about everything is covered. Of course, there’s bound to be one or two eyebrow raising omissions and the odd dubious inclusion, but for the most part this is a list that few will find inaccurate when measured against its rather inelegant but precise title.
