Best Movies of All Time - Metacritic
Originally made for Polish television, Dekalog focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time.

December 15, 2012 - At one point in pondering this list, here’s what I thought I would do: I would simply start all over with ten new films. Once any film has ever appeared on my S&S list, I consider it canonized. “Notorious” or “The Gates of Heaven,” for example, are still two of the ten best films of all time, no matter what a subsequent list says.

After embarking on this journey to come up with my own statistical "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" list almost 3 years ago, I have finally finished this massive project and am pumped to share with all of you. Here are my top 250 and 500 movies lists from 2020 for comparison.
I went through data from 30 different websites this time for almost 5000 movies, including from the classic Rotten Tomatoes / IMDb / Metacritic sites to international gems like Moviepilot / Filmweb / CSFD / Douban, etc. There remains work to be done on weighting, compiling, and updating; building a platform that provides real-time rankings and data of every single movie ever released is the ultimate goal. Ambitious and maybe impossible, but we can dream. Feel free to share your feedback and ideas, or just reach out to me through this form.
In the lead up to the top 1001 movies' full release, here are the best 100 movies on that list. I will be releasing the top 500 movies next Tuesday, and the final 1001 movies list on 9/15!
Come support through Buy Me a Coffee, or simply share this project with all of your cinephile friends. Hope you find some gems on here.

I've seen the majority of this list. There are a lot of great films listed. However, movies can be similar to sports in that critics seem to overvalue older films (athletes) and undervalue/over criticize newer ones. Similar to Lebron versus Bill Russell it is hard to compare modern movies to anything made prior to 1970. Both can be great in their own way, but they are almost different forms of art.

The 50 Best Movies of All Time | Cinephile Corner
October 3, 2025 - The Florida Project isn’t just one of Sean Baker’s best films—it’s a modern indie masterpiece that has solidified itself as one of the defining movies of the 2010s. Released by A24 in 2017, it’s a stunningly poignant slice-of-life drama that immerses the audience in the sun-drenched but deeply flawed world of its characters. For me, this movie came at the perfect time, when I was just beginning to see film as more than entertainment and started engaging with it as an art form.
