Have You Seen Every Movie Ever Featured on a Sight and Sound Cover?

One of the things I love about loving movies is that it's a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone has their own filmmaking culture and produces their own artists who can give us a portrait of their lives, influences, and techniques.

And I don't think there's a better champion of this point of view than Sight and Sound Magazine. It's an institution that has given us lists of the best movies of all time, interviews with spectacular filmmakers, and in-depth discussions from artists all over the world.

They've been around for 90 years, and recently released a list of all the films that have ever been on the cover of the magazine on Letterboxd.

I thought it would be cool to reconstruct the list here to see how many you've seen. I'm somewhere in the high 300s, but I need to comb through more!

Let's dive in.
