TSPDT has just released a brand new version of their 1000 Greatest Films List and lo and behold, it was to my advantage this time (as opposed to previous updates). So with that said I make the proper adjustments in the ole way-back machine and.....tada!!!! We start anew at #566.
Also, beginning with #566, there will be links leading to critiques and/or essays (whatever you want to call them) of each film over at my blog, The Most Beautiful Fraud in The World.

The wonderful folks over at They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? have updated their 1,000 Greatest Films List and in doing so, a bit of adjustment needs to take place here in my countdown. You see, 139 new films have been added to the list, and (of course) 139 films have been dropped from the list as well. Unfortunately for yours truly, just as a finally reached #500 (after a long drought I was feeling a bit like Alex Rodriguez just before he hit that ball over the left field wall) I have to go back and do it all over again. Okay, maybe not all of it, but since more films I had seen dropped off the list than were added, I find myself back down at #477. Arrrggghhhh!!!!! Oh well, this just means more films to watch and that is never a problem. The only film added to the list that I have first seen after taking on this project is The Chronicles of Anna Magdelena Bach, otherwise all the additions I have seen were prior to January 1, 2007. With that being said, the countdown will resume above with number 478. Meanwhile below, the adjusted numbers are listed in red (those no longer on the 1,000 Greatest List are unumbered).
