Changes in the Golden Thousand

In accordance with the Ranking Methodology, there have been changes in the Golden Thousand. The inclusion in this list of films produced in 2014-2016 that meet the established criteria, as well as changes in audience ratings on the IMDB and Kinopoisk websites during 2019-2021, led to the loss of 65 films from the Golden Thousand and their replacement by others. Among the films that have fallen out of the Golden Thousand, there are several films that have already been published on the FilmGourmand blog. Including:

1. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. Director Tom Stoppard, 1990.

2. До свидания, мальчики! (Goodbye, Boys) Director Mikhail Kalik, 1964.

3. The Man Who Would Be King. Director John Huston, 1975.

4. Сорок первый (The Forty-first). Director Grigoriy Chukhray, 1956.

The changes that have taken place in the Golden Thousand are naturally reflected in the lists of the 100 greatest film directors and the 100 most beautiful and sexiest Actresses of world cinema. But, if the list of 100 great directors dropped out of the masters, about whom there have been no publications on the FilmGourmand blog so far, then the following actresses dropped out of the list of the 100 most beautiful and sexy Actresses of world cinema:

Margarita Terekhova

Зеркало (The Mirror). Director Andrei Tarkovsky, 1974. Movie's Rating - 8,062; 636th Rank in the Golden Thousand.


Changes in the Golden Thousand were also reflected in derivative bases, in particular, in the lists of the best films by country and by year. But these changes will be covered in separate publications in the very near future.
