In the director’s pages will you rank every film by each director rather than a top 10 or a top 5? There aren’t a ton of directors with 10+ archivable films so it can probably be done.
@Anderson. I’ll probably just stick to ten
But in a case like Scorsese or Hitchcock that ranking between #11 and #20 is very interesting
My selfish request would be for Drake to kind of do what he did with the actors. Where the top tier actors got top 10s and everyone else got top 5s. It wouldn’t be totally even because someone like Tarkovsky has 7 films whilst Scorsese has 30+, but in special cases for the top tier directors with a lot of depth like Scorsese and Hitchcock it would be really cool to see those #11-15 placements atleast
30~*
I think the actors and directors are different. Actors often have small roles in films that aren’t worth ranking. While for directors every archivable film matters.
@Matthew- Understood- the top 1000 has 10+ films from directors like Hitchcock, Bergman, etc – obviously in order.
40 films from 1920’s in the top 1000. Impressive stuff. I thought it would be much less.

Actually there is 42. I missed K.Vidor’s The Crowd(1928) and The Big Parade(1925)
Wow. Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives was awarded the best picture for 1946 and finally 77 years later it finally got recognised as the best film of 1946 surpassing It’s a Wonderful Life. Great job by the Academy I have to say. And I don’t say that often
Have you seen Alex Proyas'(Dark City) The Crow released in 1994?
@Lionel- I have – a few times over the years
But did you watch The Crow after this reevaluation of Proyas’ Dark City? Aren’t there any similarities?
@Lionel- Not enough similarities to draw me back right now with so much else to prioritize
Any other Proyas films in the archives other than Dark City?
@Lionel – that one is it
Scarface on the 235# spot is the Hawks or the DePalma ?
The other is on the 614# spot.
I do think both are masterpieces.
@KidCharlemagne Hawks’ Scarface is at #235. It doesn’t fit to all handheld devices (some you can flip and see) but there is a director and year here for all films as well
I’m so stupid. Yes when I flip my phone I see it. Sorry. Keep the hard work 💪🏻
@KidCharlemagne- haha all good- at least a few others have had the same thing – it is frustrating- sorry- I’d have to imagine most people are looking at this on their phone.
@Malith- thank you for the clean up help here
New best films of the year:
1.1921-The Phantom Carriage(instead of Destiny)
2.1924-The Last Laugh(instead of Sherlock Jr.)

4.1932-Scarface(instead of Love Me Tonight)
5.1933-La tête d’un homme(instead of King Kong)
6.1946-The Best Years of Our Lives(instead of It’s a Wonderful Life)
7.1967-Playtime(instead of The Graduate)
8.1973-Mean Streets(instead of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid)
9.1977-Suspiria(instead of Annie Hall)
10.1986-The Sacrifice(instead of Blue Velvet)
11.1992-The Long Day Closes(instead of Malcolm X)
12.1994-Chungking Express(instead of Pulp Fiction)
13.1998-Flowers of Shanghai(instead of The Thin Red Line)
14.2003-Kill Bill(instead of Lost in Translation)
@Drake- I know you’ll put up the director’s page but why you moved One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest from MP to a MS level film?
Comparison is the best way to rank films and I think it could belong in the group of Dog Day Afternoon, Network etc. Not auteur driven but propelled by excellent narrative, consisting superlative screenplay and performances and an overall perfectly turned film out even though (just like those two Lumet films) it falls short on great visuals.
@M*A*S*H- it is a brilliant film – it is just on a different level (with less ambitious aims) than the very top echelon. More of a compliment to the other films ahead of it on the list than any sort of critique of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Max Ophuls actually has 7 films included in the top 1000
Do you think he might see a revival nowadays? He does have one big fan in Paul Thomas Anderson.
Where is Zinnemann’s From Here to Eternity(1953)?
@Malith- Great film, but not on the list
@Drake – I was wondering if there was a specific reason for the big upgrade to Under the Skin with a MP and #258 position? Is it something to do with form? I have to on my watchlist and excited to get to it soon
@LeBron Smith- Thanks for the comment and question. I’ll try to show more on the Jonathan Glazer page when I update it (hopefully with some screencaps as well) but this is a film that rewards close study and multiple viewings – I was able to get to it again earlier in 2023
Only Bergman, Kubrick and Kurosawa has a 6th best film better than Roman Polanski(Tess). Not even Scorsese did better.
Plus has any other filmmaker had this crazy rollercoaster of a life like Polanski? The holocaust and surviving the war in Poland, I think Knife in the Water was the first Polish film ever to be Oscar nominated, The Apartment Trilogy, conquering Hollywood with Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown, The tragic Sharon Tate murder, The notorious sexual assault incident, making 2 acclaimed films Tess and The Pianist and getting nominated for both and winning the Oscar for the latter, winning 3 Best Director Cesar awards in the 2010’s 5 decades after being one of the best directors of the 1960’s. Crazy? Ha
For better or worse, he probably has had the most interesting, controversial, tragic life of any famous filmmaker.
I wouldn’t call it tragic. Still making films at 90. Happy wife for 30+ years and happy children. No long-term illnesses
Have you seen any other Sergei Bondarchuk and Elem Klimov films other than War and Peace(1965) and Come and See(1985)?
@Lionel – not 100% sure – but I don’t believe so
15 films from 2013 included here. All in the top 900. Wow. And Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street isn’t one of them.
1.Ida
2.Inside Lllewyn Davis
3.Under the Skin
4.Gravity
5.Before Midnight
6.The Great Beauty
7.12 Years a Slave
8.Only God Forgives
9.Enemy
10.Snowpiercer
11.Blue is the Warmest Color
12.The Immigrant
13.Her
14.American Hustle
15.The Grandmaster
Are there any other year with more?
@Malith – 17 films from 1960 and 17 from 1999
1957 has 16
1981 has 16
The thing with 2013 is all of these 15 films are rated HR/MS or higher while the other years have some HR films
Will the best directors list be expanded past 250 when you update it? With 300 or so films listed as masterpieces, that means a lot of directors who could make it in- I’ll be curious to see how long it takes for a director with no masterpiece level films to appear on the top 250 list
@MovieJoker- haven’t quite decided yet
Would you ever do a best screenplays/screenwriters list?
@MovierJoker- fun discussion to have- but I don’t think so
I’m not a fan of Kubrick, Pollock or Tarantino, but despite what i like or not, its a great and a though job. On the other way, very happy to see so many works i love from Scorsese.
Excited to see how this list will change in 7 years
Is Vittorio Storaro the GOAT DP? He now has shot two films in the top 20. And still going strong with Woody’s Coup de Chance which has good reviews for the film and for Storaro’s cinematography.
@Lionel- I do not have a running list- but Taste of Cinema always does a good job – http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2015/the-30-greatest-cinematographers/
and then TSPDT has a great analysis page
Leading Cinematographers
(Most cinematography credits within the 1,000 Greatest Films)
14 – Raoul Coutard
13 – Sven Nykvist
10 – Tonino Delli Colli
8 – Roland Totheroh, Russell Metty, Gordon Willis, William Lubtchansky
7 – Robert Burks, Vilmos Zsigmond, Gianni Di Venanzo, Robby Müller, Michael Ballhaus, Kazuo Miyagawa, Sacha Vierny, Asakazu Nakai
6 – Takao Saito, Giuseppe Rotunno, Nestor Almendros, Joseph Walker, Vittorio Storaro, Eduard Tisse, Otello Martelli
5 – Miroslav Ondrícek, Boris Kaufman, Charles Lang, Edmond Richard, Elgin Lessley, Frederick Elmes, Gabriel Figueroa, Aldo Graziati, Gilbert Taylor, Yûharu Atsuta, Pasqualino De Santis, Roger Deakins, Russell Harlan, Subrata Mitra, Victor Milner, William Daniels, Ghislain Cloquet
@Lionel- nope- and I agree, but I think you’d find something similar (or close) with just about all of these DPs. I thought about doing something similar with thecinemaarchives top 1000 with some of the analytics– but this is just a ton of work and compiling.
Surprised by the absence of Jack Cardiff and John Alcott here.
But does TSPDT have Storaro films like One From the Heart and Dick Tracy in their top 1000?
Since 4 Wachowski films got big upgrades here( The Matrix to a MP, Speed Racer to a MS, The Matrix Reloaded to a HR/MS and Bound to a HR/MS) I have to ask if you gave another look to The Matrix Revolutions(2003), Jupiter Ascending(2015) and The Matrix Resurrections(2021)? And did any of these three made the archives? Plus is Cloud Atlas any better than a R now?
@Malith- Thanks for the comment. I’ll be doing a big update on all the directors as the next big project
@Drake – Quite a jump for Flowers of Shanghai, # 5 of 1998 to a top 100 film. Have you revisited The Assassin (2015) recently? I realize it would not be ineligible for this list due to 10 year rule. Just wondering if you have watched since your last grading which was HR/MS
@James-It was actually at #10 for 1998
@James Trapp- I have not- I was able to do a 9 film Hsiao-Hsien Hou study in 2019— but Goodbye, South, Goodbye and Flowers of Shanghai were unavailable (at least to me) at the time. Then in 2021 criterion but those both out on their streaming platform and I was able to get to those
@Malith – I stand corrected, it was listed as # 5 on the page for HHH, not the 1998 page
@Drake – got it, yeah I found it really impressive, definitley need to check out his other work
Flowers of Shanghai is now rated as the best film of 1998 over The Thin Red Line, right? That’s crazy. Going from #10 of 1998 to #1 of 1998
@Malith- I believe so-yes- I included the years on the page as well so others can look up by year or decade
Didn’t Woody’s Husbands and Wives(1992) make the cut?
@Malith- Husbands and Wives is not in the top 1000
It is rated as Woody’s 5th best in his director’s page
@Malith- Yes, I am aware. Updates to the director’s pages in the next year
@Malith – thank you for the help on Last Tango- fixed now
I hate to say it. But is The Pianist actually overrated? Maybe not by the TSPDT consensus, but generally? So strange to see this as the director with six top 300 films’ maybe most widely seen film and the one that got him the Oscar even with all the issues.
