Jonathan Rosenbaum: 1,000 Favorites (A Personal Canon) Updated & Revised - Page 5

First published in the appendix of the 2004 collection Essential Cinema: On the Necessity of Film Canons by American film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum:
"The criteria I've used for inclusion on this list are pleasure and edification; I haven't factored in any sense of historical importance that might exist independently of these factors. I've incorporated shorts as well as features, both animation and live-action, and videos as well as some works made for television, but not anything made for a TV series."
The original list has been updated and expanded to include subsequent additions made by Rosenbaum between 2004 and 2018.
