Trading on its impeccable reputation, Halliwell’s now presents it’s Top 1,000 favorite films. Starting at number 1,000, each entry includes a plot summary, cast and crew, awards, key critical comments, DVD and soundtrack availability, and a wealth of other interesting details. To supplement the countdown, there is commentary from film stars, show business personalities, well-known critics, and the movers and shakers in the film industry, each naming their favorite films or weighing in on Halliwell’s selection. Illustrated throughout with classic and modern film stills and posters, this is a book that every cinema fan will want to own. John Walker is one of Britain’s leading film critics.

The list has 42 extra films, because trilogies, or series, are counted as one entry (The Godfather, The Apu Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, Antoine Doinel, Laurel and Hardy shorts, etc...)

The idea behind The New Cult Canon is to take a fresh look at the new generation of cult movies that have sprung up in the last two decades, although some older movies are also included into the list. The list is authored by Scott Tobias.

The Neo Noir/Modern Noir (Post 1964) lists 91 films made after the 'golden age' of film noir. These films have borrowed from the artistic glories of the past, but also have embellished the film noir landscape with their contrasting modern aesthetics (particularly with the use of colour). We have grouped them by decade, and all are American-produced, except where noted.

This isn't a complete list as that'd be pretty impossible and it's probably subjective, but the items on this list are tv shows of movies that I think you should watch so you have a pretty high chance of knowing what people are talking about when they start talking about visual media. This is an eclectic list - you won't find many places that put American Pie and Amelie on the same page, but this isn't ranked, it's not one genre, and while some of the items listed are culturally significant in the sense of high culture modern-masterpieces, some are slightly ironic but still just as cultural, but rather more of the popular culture strain. If you watch the items on this list, next time somebody quotes "...No I'm not, I'm talking about Anne Frank. She was deaf, dumb and blind." "No she wasn't. Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind.", you'll be able to laugh. When somebody says "I'm Batman" in a really gruff voice, or jokingly suggests taking a neighbour's gnome around the world and sending them photos of it, you'll know exactly what they're referring to. That is the intention of this list.
