Classic films to watch next

“I should really watch the classics” tends to stall on two things: which list, and where you actually are on it.

Next Up carries two canonical lists as checklists — the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition, 2007) and the top 10 of the 2022 Sight and Sound critics' poll. Each page shows the list in its source's own order, marks the titles already in your History, keeps a running count, and can pick your next watch from whatever is still unticked.

The fastest route through Next Up

  1. 1.Open a list and see how many titles are already in your History.
  2. 2.Use “Pick my next watch” to get one unwatched title from the list.
  3. 3.Log it when you have seen it; the count and the next pick update.
