Silver Screen Streak List #20: 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die
Written by dorrk | 07 November 2021 |
For the twentieth chapter in my Silver Screen Streak movie challenge, Flickcharter Elisabeth Miller brings me face-to-list with Steven Jay Schneider's popular film reference book, 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Using Flickchart's global rankings as a road map, this is a great chance for me to get acquainted (or re-acquainted after decades, in a few cases), with a broad range of overlooked classics and critically acclaimed arthouse fare, most of which have been low priorities on my personal watchlist for some time.
THE FIRST TWO
I’ll watch the first two movies from each list, giving each participant the chance to avoid an instant exit and maybe even earn some free passes.

UMBERTO D. (1952)
DIR.: VITTORIO DE SICA

THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942)
DIR.: ORSON WELLES
THE NEXT EIGHT
If those first two movies fare well enough on my Flickchart, I'll continue through the following, as long as they stay above 50% on my Flickchart.

Patton (1970)
Dir.: Franklin J. Schaffner

Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
Dir.: Robert Aldrich

The Phantom Carriage (1921)
Dir.: Victor Sjöström

Ninotchka (1939)
Dir.: Ernst Lubitsch

The Quiet Man (1952)
Dir.: John Ford

My Darling Clementine (1946)
Dir.: John Ford

Contempt (1963)
Dir.: Jean-Luc Godard

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974)
Dir.: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
Not all 1001. Maybe the 5 or 6 top-ranked on Flickchart
