WIP (Work in Progress)
The book "1001 movies you must see before you die" has been a well-known book among film-lovers since 2002. Every year since then there have been a new edition to keep track of potentially new movies you should, or is recommended to, watch.

For now I haven't been active when it comes to watching movies, and my passion for film (that I had before) has dropped a lot the last 2 years (if not 3). So for this reason, in order to try to get my passion back (from the dead), I will take on the project of watching every movies which have been in these books over the years.

If I'm missing any films on here (that are in the books in the 2002-2016 editions), feel free to comment and mention them. If you know of other films that I should watch (and maybe get another yearly movie list that I used to do on Listal) you could recommend them and text me via PM.

If you want to know more of my kind of taste or want to know a little more about me (here are som lists to see):
- Reasons why I Love Films
- Facts about me through films
- Films I Want to Watch

Total Films: 1199
