Ten years ago, I discovered a 700-strong list on @MUBI entitled ‘Edgar Wright’s Favorite Movies’, which came as something of a surprise, as I hadn’t written it. Though the American spelling of ‘favourite’ was a clue.
The list had been created by Sam DiSalle, so I reached out to ask how he had compiled it. He explained that it included every film I had ever said I liked in interviews, articles and polls. I asked if I could edit it and, over the next few months, after much addition and subtraction, gave him enough further suggestions to bring the grand total up to a round 1,000 films.
Every now and then I update it and thought I would do so ten years on. It is a very personal and entirely subjective selection of favourites from more than 100 years of cinema. Some people get extremely riled up about films they perceive to be ‘missing’, so please be warned: any comments along the lines of “What, no…?” will be deleted. It’s only one person’s list, and the great news is you can absolutely make your own. In fact, I encourage you to!
I enjoy keeping the list fluid for my own pleasure, amusement and reference. I’m sharing a recently updated version in the hope that you’ll have fun poring over it and diving into some films you haven’t seen, or perhaps haven’t even heard of. I should also apologise to my friends at @1000filmsblog for adding and removing titles. I really don’t mean to increase your workload! Anything that has ever appeared on the list remains valid; I simply like to cycle films in and out according to rewatches and new discoveries.
And, of course, enormous thanks to Sam DiSalle for helping me put it all together and maintain it over the years. Links to his MUBI and @letterboxd versions of the list are below. Film-watching is a lifetime pursuit, and there are still so many others out there for me to see. I hope these two lists are a great place to for you to start. Please give my regards to your eyeballs!

Two years of structured, vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of age-related structural changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds

As the heart ages, it tends to shrink and stiffen, impairing cardiovascular function and increasing disease risk

Dr. Ben Levine’s team gradually built participants up to 5–6 hours of weekly training, combining Norwegian 4x4 intervals, endurance exercise, and twice-weekly strength work

By the end of the study, their 52-year-old hearts structurally resembled those of people roughly 20 years younger

I am amazed that you could drink my potion and yet not be bewitched. No other man has drunk it and withstood the magic charm. But you are different. Your mind is not enchanted. You must be Odysseus, 330 the man who can adapt to anything.”

You're discounting the fact that the prices listed on the Apple US website don't include taxes. A much better comparison would be Apple UAE, where the Mac Mini is AED 3,299. It's also important to keep in mind that India has a much higher GST rate than most other countries. Once you factor that in, the Indian pricing actually makes sense.

Also most revolutions only result in power vaccums only to be filled by even worst elements later on.

French Revolution → Robespierre → Napoleon
Russian Revolution → Lenin → Stalin
Iranian Revolution → moderate reformists sidelined → Khomeini’s theocracy

Libya 2011 → Gaddafi removed → failed state, militia chaos

@amitkilhor The Marie Antoinette quote, “Let them eat cake”, is fake. There is no credible historical evidence that she ever uttered such a thing.

@kushal_mehra Yes. When in a book store it can make or break a descision when you don’t know about the author. Here is an example of a great cover IMHO
