mmm, the more the better for me, so films past top-1000 are interesting + "Doubling the Canon was about expanding the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They top 1000 movies list with another 1000 movies that were not in that list. The list was compiled by the IMDb classic film board."

i guess + turns to % when clicking

This list is pretty much the holy grail to me, without this shit I'd have no idea what to watch and I'd probably be reading instead.

plenty of lists here https://www.icheckmovies.com/profiles/progress/ and in personal lists there
collages on ptp are endless rabbit hole too
+ directors filmographies and film festival programs are good places to scout
seen 635 of tspd and 208 unseen are available on bluray so will run out of these soon
