Diary of everything I saw while social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic

• 1–516 (March 17–June 22, 2020) we're under mandatory lockdown.
• the last movie i saw in the theaters was The Hunt on sunday, march 15, 1st viewing and HATED it!

Horror is one of the most readily dismissed genres from critics and film buffs, yet is, arguably, the genre with the most avid and steadfast niche following and remains popular with the general public. With horror films aiming to terrify, spook, shock, disturb, repulse, amuse, entertain and more, it's no wonder the genre is so varied, divisive and controversial.

With so many people ignoring or simply not understanding horror, many great films slip under the radar and are relatively unknown to an audience outside of hardcore horror fans. In order to counteract this and bring awareness to the greatness of the genre, this list was created.

Compiled using 2,614 lists taken from various critics/polls/magazines/books/websites/forums/horror fans, They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? is intended to be the ultimate canonical top 1000 horror list. Spanning several decades, countries and sub-genres, and using lists from a wide range of people and publications, the resulting list is quite a diverse spread and representation of the best of horror.

Taken from the horror subreddit of Reddit, r/horror or Dreadit has compiled a list from votes taken during September for the most loved horror movies according to the reddit online collective,

Movies (and some tv series/episodes) that are so insanely packed with things and ideas and visuals they become dense in one way or another.

• Obviously subjective but not precisely my favourite movies.

• Ordered alphabetically.

• Suggestions welcomed but I'll have to see them to see if they fit my criteria.

Standalone movies I want to watch...

The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list serves as a companion to the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? 1,000 Greatest Films of all time list which, - by its nature - tends to have very few films from the 21st century in it. The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list attempts to highlight and honour this century's most critically revered films and act as a sort of 'resting bay' for many great films that are likely to be included in the 1,000 Greatest Films list sooner or later.
