1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

I recently checked out from the library the (2002) book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, to see how much longer I needed to live to be a satisfactory cineaphile in the eyes of compiler Steven Jay Schneider. Turns out I have only seen 296 of the 1001, and thus have a long ways to live yet, especially given the fact that some of the titles listed, such as the silent, Danish, witchcraft movie Haxan, will likely require years to come across an available copy.
