Cinema Seeker's Top 1000 Films (A Personal Canon)

Out of all of the films that I have seen to date, this is a list of the 1000 that probably mean the most to me at this time or have meant a great deal to me in the past. This is not strictly a best list; however, it probably contains what I consider to be the best 700 or 750 films of all time. Other films on the list are sentimental favorites, guilty pleasures, films very relevant to certain times in my life, or simply a film that spoke to me in a weird & very memorable way. You would think that 1000 films would be more than enough to avoid tough cuts, but there are plenty of other films that I like a lot and/or really respect that did not make my top 1000. I will periodically revise this list. The list is in chronological order. I considered all types of films for this list including shorts and documentaries. The list even has one music video and a few promotional films. The cover photograph for this list features Romy Schneider in Claude Sautet's "Max and the Junkmen."
