Well over a century has passed since the Lumière brothers frightened the life out of Parisians with The Arrival of a Train at a Station, and well over a million titles have since been recorded - if the Internet Movie Database is anything to go by.

Out of these million-plus movies, our team of experts has picked what we believe is the essential 1,000 - those that best sum up the dazzling achievement and variety of the movies.

† NOTE: This is first of two lists based on Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2019) by Mark Cousins. This list (with TCM premier dates) is narrower in scope and is a complete showcase of TCM's 2020 Women Make Film Film Festival through DEC 1, 2020. My second list (similar but broader), Women Make Film II, is a compendium of all the films by chapter that appear in Cousins' 14 hour documentary. It's ranked and notated to mirror the documentary's structure. https://trakt.tv/users/lezelmaz/lists/women-make-film-ii

†† NOTE: As I developed my broader Women Make Film II list, I noticed that while most films curated by TCM for their Women Make Film Film festival are culled from Cousins' documentary, several films (along with those female directors) did not originate from his doc, and are not included in that other Women Make Film II list.

The Story of Film: An Odyssey, a 15-part series written and directed by award-winning film-maker Mark Cousins, is the story of international cinema told through the history of cinematic innovation.
The series provides a worldwide guided tour of the greatest movies ever made; an epic tale that starts in nickelodeons and ends as a multi-billion-dollar globalised digital industry."

Note: "Motion Capture Mirrors Emotion (2009) dir. Jorge Ribas," a documentary about the making of Avatar, is missing because it does not appear to have an imdb page.
