They rejiggered the formula and collection process this year and believe the results to be "purer [and] less-massaged"
Will switch the collection back to public once all the films have been added 1000-1 (day or two)

Re: They Shoot Pictures 1,000 Greatest Films (2017)
(*Sigh*) Absolutely none of my 10s and only 11 out of 190 of my 9s, most of which I'd put at the bottom of my "9" pile.
Most surprisingly absent (that is, not including my non-standard favorites):
2001: A Space Odyssey
Fiddler on the Roof
Gladiator
Inherit the Wind
Jesus Christ Superstar
O Brother Where Art Thou?
I know it's a compilation, but with all the obscure and less than worthy stuff that is there (Die Hard, really), I can only wonder how we've come to this. There just HAD to be something from Fellini in there, but on the upside, at least it wasn't the uber-pretentious and self-absorbed 8 1/2. Where's It's a Wonderful Life (he asked derisively.) (*Heavy Sigh*)

I think you may have made some mistake. 2001, 8 1/2, and It's a Wonderful Life are all on the list (at #3, #6, and #85, respectively). There are actually 10 Fellinis.

He seems not to have realized the discrepancy between the 1000 films advertised and the less than 500 which have been added to the collection, and based his judgment on that
(I'm going!)

Oh, my mistake, I used the link at the top to the page titled: They Shoot Pictures 1,000 Greatest Films (2017 revision)
. I guess I should have counted them or something. (***Extremely heavy sigh***)

Was that me being dismissed or the low-rent masses in general. Hard to tell from down here.

What the hell are you talking about? Both the post and the collection page say it's in-progress

If it's that unfinished, why'd you even put it up? And are you saying those movies you mentioned aren't in the list, why? You took 'em out so you could put them back in. And why isn't it labeled "in progress" instead of titling it like it's finished. I'd have thought you'd have made allowances for the unwashed out here to get confused.
