replies: text: I disagree with myself after all these years. I think the old films no longer included in the book should have been collected in the article. -Gohst (talk) 06:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Movies from previous editions

message: There are some problems in this section. First, there are 27 films listed. Second, the 26th film is a Bollywood movie (!!). --201.235.218.229 (talk) 15:00, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The book has been published in many languages. The non-English editions include some local titles (20 in Finland according to the Finnish Wikipedia). Also, In the Finnish edition, for example, the foreword is written by Kari Hotakainen and synopses for the Finnish movies are written by Pasi Nyyssönen. I would appreciate if someone added some information about the non-English editions. Memasa (talk) 09:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

message: In the list of the countries, the links all point to the basketball teams. I fail to see a reason why but before modifying anything, I'll ask: had anybody done that on purpose and why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groquik (talk • contribs) 03:22, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason that foreign films are listed under the titles in their own language? Per WP:COMMONNAME, they should be listed under their English titles? --Killer Moff (talk) 09:06, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foreign titles 

message: This article, whose sole reliable live reference is this (not even a sentence), does not need to be a summary, essentially, of the book's content. There is no justification for that in the first place, esp. not if no case can be made for the book's importance. Drmies (talk) 17:42, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The list is creative and so copyrightable (cf commented warnings on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die), and since you're an admin you can delete the revisions yourself all the way to 835594698. Also 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die should have the list removed for the same reason, all the way to 778048085. Any claim that "fact lists are not copyrighted" can be countered by the list's creativity. I'll see if  and our latest admin  can take a look and post a "don't put the copyrighted list on WP" warning. ミラP 20:40, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  cleanup 

message: At the moment the 1001 list totals to 1011 titles. Here are extra titles I think that are listed. 
In the 2020 version of the list, Le Professional, a 1981 film direct by George Lautner is listed. But I can find no other version of the list that includes that title. Initially I thought it might have been a mistake confusing it with Leon: The Professional, which is also listed, but I can't find on other versions.
Also cannot find the 1990 film Cyrano de Bergerac on any other versions of this list.
Also cannot find La Grande Vadrouille on any other lists 
Also cannot find the 1993 French Film Les Visiteurs on any other list.  
Avengers Infinity War/ Endgame, The Lord of the Rings, and The Toy Story Films are combined in the book, and should be marked that they are collection in the book. 
By my counting, that is 10 I have found that aren't on other lists for 2020. I don't own a copy of this book, but I think if someone has it they should crack it open and see.
