I know 1000 is not very many compared to a lot of you, so it makes sense that I have some egregious gaps in my film…

I am only a couple dozen movies away from logging my 1000th film on this website! I am working on watching as many films as I can that I may or may not have seen when I was younger (who knew The Music Man was as long as Pulp Fiction ?) so that my 1000th log is as close to my 1000th actual film as possible. Just to be on the safe side, this benchmark will really just allow me to say with certitude that I have seen "at least 1000 films."

Friends of Letterboxd,

I am only a couple dozen movies away from logging my 1000th film on this website! I am working on watching as many films as I can that I may or may not have seen when I was younger (who knew The Music Man was as long as Pulp Fiction?) so that my 1000th log is as close to my 1000th actual film as possible. Just to be on the safe side, this benchmark will really just allow me to say with certitude that I have seen "at least 1000 films."

I know 1000 is not very many compared to a lot of you, so it makes sense that I have some egregious gaps in my film viewing. And that is why I need your help!

Leading up to my 1000th film, I plan on watching ten films that are regarded as classics, modern classics, or simply great films. Each will be from a different country.

In this list is five films from each of ten countries (more or less). Please pick one film from each row and comment which one you think I should watch. The idea is that I will watch the film from each row with the most votes as films #991-#1000.

Share this list with others if you want, or feel free to ask your friends and family to vote too and pass along their suggestions! I want as much help as possible curating the ten films leading up to #1000. I will announce what the winners are so if anyone wants to watch them with me you can do so!

Thanks for reading this and for helping out. Letterboxd is my favorite website and I am happy to be able to share this milestone with you all!

P.S. I retain the right to veto. I hope I will not have to but if something happens (e.g., my not being able to get a copy of one of the winners, or Vertigo not winning for the USA) then I might have to make an executive decision.

Deadline will be whenever I watch my 990th! Estimate around July 23 or so.

EDIT: Voting is closed! I just watched my 990th movie (Ossos) and have tallied the votes. The winner is the first film in each row below. Look at the notes for vote count!
