IMDb Top 250s 1996-2016: Complete Watchlist
This is a complete list of the 689 movies you need to watch in order to complete every single one of IMDb's "Top 250" lists between 1996 and 2016. The default list order is rather random, so you might want to sort them by "IMDb Rating".
Unfortunately there are quite a few real stinkers on these lists, which will undoubtedly prove to be pure agony to watch for some. On the other hand, there are also lots of real gems, most people outside the film-buff community have never even heard of, let alone seen.
Here are few of my personal favorites I strongly recommend to watch, in case you haven't yet seen these world cinema masterpieces:
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) (FRANCE)
Grave of the Fireflies (1988) (JAPAN)
Raise the Red Lantern (1991) (CHINA)
Koyaanisqatsi (1982) (Documentary, USA)
Wages of Fear (1953) (FRANCE)
Underground (1995) (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA)
3 Idiots (2009) (INDIA)
Memories of Murder (2003) (SOUTH KOREA)
Children of Heaven (1997) (IRAN)
Wings of Desire (1987) (WEST GERMANY)
The Lives of Others (2006) (GERMANY)
Wild Tales (2014) (ARGENTINA)
