Thank you to everyone who participated and correctly submitted their ballots of 25 favourite films. In the end, that ended up being 1,983 of us. Overall, I was really impressed by the passion and knowledge for cinema that was evidenced in many of your responses. Also, from a personal perspective, thank you for bringing to my attention many films that I had never previously crossed paths with.
A top 1,005 films listing was derived, encompassing all the films that registered nine votes or more.
A total of 5,945 individual titles were chosen and you will able to view them all soon (a downloadable spreadsheet will be provided).
I really enjoyed putting this together, and I was genuinely intrigued by some of the films selected, as much by those that received one vote, as with some of those that received many votes. The top 1,005, in the end, is an eclectic amalgamation of mainstream, cult, arthouse, and classic cinema. It, of course, houses many of the usual suspects, but it is also populated by a sturdy number of curiosities. I think this list makes a worthwhile, crowd-pleasing companion to the
1,000 Greatest Films and
21st Century lists, and I'm sure you will be adding many of the films included to your watch lists.
