1,000 Greatest Films They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? - 2026
The 1,000 Greatest Films van They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? (2026-editie) is een uitgebreide ranglijst van de meest geprezen films aller tijden, samengesteld op basis van duizenden internationale filmlijsten en stemmen van critici, programmeurs en filmmakers. De lijst staat bekend als een "lijst van lijsten" en biedt een breed gedragen overzicht van de filmcanon.
De editie van 2026 is de 21e versie en is gebaseerd op meer dan 17.000 bronnen, variërend van grote critici-enquêtes tot gespecialiseerde filmpublicaties. De ranglijst wordt jaarlijks geactualiseerd, waardoor kleine verschuivingen en nieuwe toevoegingen zichtbaar maken hoe de waardering voor films zich blijft ontwikkelen.
De lijst bevat zes items die we hier op FilmCentrum niet opnemen omdat het om series gaat. Dit zijn Histoire(s) du cinéma, Dekalog, Twin Peaks: The Return, The Sorrow and the Pity, Heimat: A Chronicle of Germany en Amor de Perdição: Memórias de uma Família.
