1001 Movies You Must See

          1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die by Steven Jay Schneider is a collection of 1001 movies that various contributors believed were the most important movies to watch in your lifetime. I stumbled across this book around a year ago and I thought that it would be an interesting challenge to attempt to accomplish. 1001 movies, it can't be that much of a challenge can it? Who knows?
          The thing that I really like about the book is that in a way it's sort of a history lesson of film itself. The first movie listed in the book is A Trip To The Moon directed by Georges Melies. I'm sure many of you might recognize this film from Hugo. This was a movie that was made in 1902, over a hundred years ago and it's still considered to be a movie worth viewing. The list starts there and goes all the way up to movies coming out today. The book is a great way of literally seeing the history of film in front of you and also just enjoying many movies from the past and present.
          If anyone hasn't read or seen this book then I would highly recommend checking it out. It's pretty reasonably priced and if you buy one edition, you probably won't have to get another one.
