The 1,000 Best Movies Ever Made

The 1,000 Best Movies Ever Made. All 1,000 original reviews from The New York Times on-line.

From A.O. Scott’s introduction —

And so this volume is a collection of first words, some prescient, some premature, and worth a good deal less than the thousand pictures they describe. Though its title may invoke the authority of The New York Times, this collection is more likely to start arguments than to settle them, argument being one of the solemn duties of criticism and, more importantly, one of the great pleasures of movie-going.
