What’s all this, then?
Film 101 is a website-nomadic project by me, Andrew, to give some care and thought and mostly words to the greatest films the world has ever produced. I came up with the list in the 2010s by cross-referencing rankings from AFI, BFI, and IMDB (this was before Letterboxd), and I’ve been working my way through it, mostly on my old site In Reel Deep, ever since.
You can see the whole list here including links to the pieces I have written (also just see the archive). And, like any good film snob, you can find me on Letterboxd and Bluesky.
Sign up, and you’ll get each new entry in the series delivered to your inbox, plus some additional musings on movies in the Extras section.
