50 Films to See Before You Die

50 Films to See Before You Die

"50 Films to See Before You Die" was a television programme first shown on Channel 4 on Saturday 22 July, 2006, to celebrate the relaunch of Film4 as a free-to-air TV channel available to digital terrestrial homes in the United Kingdom. It consisted of a list of 50 films compiled by film critics, experts and personalities. Each film was "chosen as a paragon of a particular genre or style". Apocalypse Now was chosen as the #1 film.

Recent movies dominate the list: nine are from the 2000s, twelve from the 1990s, nine from the 1980s, nine from the 1970s, and only eleven movies from all the years prior to 1970.

Three of the 50 films on the list are from the parent channel – "Trainspotting" (#25), "Secrets & Lies" (#49) and "Sexy Beast" (#5).
