My top 1000 movies

by oOgiandujaOo_and_Eddy_Merckx | created - 15 Jul 2020 | updated - 1 week ago | Public

Provisional top 1000 list which I'm still fine tuning. Fine tuning here means doing some rewatches, searching my feelings and seeing some prominent films I ought to have seen. I have done a top 500 elsewhere on IMDb (check my profile) which has a lot of writing associated with it.

Currently all my favourites are on IMDb, been a long time since I have been able to say that, projects to add films have been successful!
