Time Magazine: “All-TIME 100 Movies”

Time:

All-TIME 100 Movies

These movies were selected by Time magazine’s Richard Corliss and Richard Schickel. As the website says, “The idea was to assemble 100 estimable films since Time began, with the March 3, 1923 issue.” The two film critics each created lists of 100+ films. They had 31 movies in common (with The Godfather and The Godfather Part II considered as one entry) and then negotiated with each other to flesh out the remainder.

The original Time list was presented unranked. However, this list has been ranked based on the movies’ overall status in Dave’s Movie Database with the shared films ranked and then the remaining films ranked.

Maddingly, this list does NOT add up to 100 titles. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are listed as one entry, as are the two-part Olympia, the Apu Trilogy and Lord of the Rings. If these titles were broken out separately, the list would be…105 titles? Someone at Time needs to learn to count (or I’ve missed a movie somewhere, despite checking this list several times).
