Varias y variadas son las listas que se pueden encontrar sobre la eterna pregunta sobre cuales son las mejores películas de la historia del cine. Aquí mismo a lo largo de los últimos años algunas se han ido reflejando, unas procedentes de diversos estudios y encuestas realizadas por diferentes medios, otras, por el contrario, han sido de cosecha propia, pero todas con un mismo denominador común como es el hecho de que ninguna puede considerarse la lista definitiva.

Unas, como por ejemplo la famosa lista sobre las 250 mejores películas que se puede encontrar en IMDB, proceden de las votaciones personales de los lectores, y en ella se reflejan los gustos del público, otras, procedentes de prestigiosas cinematecas o publicaciones especializadas, suelen derivar sus preferencias por otros derroteros bien diferentes, y eso va a seguir siendo así hasta el fin de los días, pero, a modo de un divertimento más, no estará de más dar un vistazo al trabajo que vienen realizando los señores de They Shoot Pictures, que como cada año, mediante un "simple" cruce de datos provenientes de diversos ámbitos, como pueden ser los de la prestigiosa Sight & Sound´s, Cinematheque Belgique, Nickel Odeon, Senses of Cinema, Firty Filmmakers,........y un largo etc, después de analizar casi 10.000 películas, y actualizar todos los datos, ya tienen publicada la lista de la 1000 mejores películas de la historia del cine hasta este año 2012.

Como se puede observar, en lo que a los primeros puestos se refiere, pocos, muy pocos son los cambios que en los tres últimos años han habido, y los años van pasando, pero esa obra de arte , si nos atenemos a temas técnicos, llamada Citizen Kane sigue ahí arriba en lo más alto.

La lista entera la forman 1000 películas, y si bien desde They Shoot Pictures se puede descargar la tabla entera, aquí solo vamos a reflejar las 250 primeras:
