Some 2010s films really shot up this time, though the decade is still rather underrepresented. I hate how long it takes for films to play catch up there.

The most amazing and welcome feature of the new update is that the "Starting List" spreadsheet now contains all of the rankings, for every single film. A rather startling move, as Bill himself admits in his introduction, especially given how grudging he was in previous years about adding the rankings from 1001-2000.

Maybe this will give Henrik a similar idea... :mrgreen:

I’ll drink to that. I barely read the All Time list anymore, it’s hardly worth it. I do go through the 21st Century list, though. I’m excited to see what 2020 films end up on there

I actually would love this feature for AM, but I also get it if its not something Henrik wants.

Now that someone has added the top 1000 to Letterboxd, I am down to 178 films to watch. I want to make it through the full top 1000 but some of them seem like a grind, never mind the films that have shockingly limited availability considering their acclaim.

I imagine after the 2022 Sight & Sound poll the 2010s will finally get some better representation. It seems that some of them got cut off for this update as 1001-1003 is:
#1001 Moonlight
#1002 Phantom Thread
#1003 Inside Llewyn Davis

I wish they would mix the lists for the 21st century/year-end/decade-end lists with the all-time lists, kind of like how Henrik keeps AcclaimedMusic balanced between various decades.
