Every few years, I update my Letterboxd account with the films I value the most.
Previous lists have been 1,000 films strong, but this year I’m limiting it to 500. You can find my other lists here.
Check out the list in full to find picks from 1902 to date.
Some stats:
1900s – 1 film | 1910s – 14 films | 1920s – 52 films | 1930s – 76 films | 1940s – 77 films | 1950s – 61 films | 1960s – 61 films | 1970s – 57 films | 1980s – 34 films | 1990s – 39 films | 2000s – 13 films | 2010s – 12 films | 2020s – 3 films
According to Letterboxd, 10% of my choices are not available on official streaming services, although it is entirely possible to find some of them elsewhere.
