Opening Pandora’s Box: 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

Not too long ago, I found out about a book called 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Per Wikipedia:

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (ISBN 9780764161513) is a film reference book compiled by various critics worldwide and edited by Steven Jay Schneider. It is a part of a series from Quintessence Editions Ltd. Each title is accompanied by a brief synopsis and critique, some with pictures. Presented chronologically, the current edition begins with Georges Méliès‘ A Trip to the Moon in 1902 and currently concludes with Quentin Tarantino‘s 2009 film Inglourious Basterds.

As you may recall from the Don’t Watch It, John series, I am not one to back down from a challenge. I think you see where this is going.

However, 1,001 movies is quite an undertaking. I’m not going to tackle this all at once. This is the type of thing where you chip away for years until you finally topple the beast. To date, thanks to subsequent editions, there are now a total of 1,079 films that have appeared in the book. That figure comes from the fine folks at filmsquish.com, who have dedicated themselves to the list. They even have a “1001 Movies You Must See Blog Club”. I’ll certainly be forwarding this entry over to them (mostly to pat them on the back), and I may just try to attain membership. But now it’s time for the really boring stuff. I need to sift through the list and show which films I have seen and which films I have not seen. Brace yourself for entirely too much scrolling. I’ll be nice and list it chronologically.

Films with an asterisk have been in the list at one time or another but are not on the current list. They’re the 78 that make up the difference between 1,001 and 1,079. In some cases these films are known (by me, anyway) by their name in their original language. I’ve tried to list both names when possible. For the record, I’ve seen 459 if my math is right.
