Bénéficiant de la nouvelle maquette intérieure inaugurée en 2013, plus aérée et plus illustrée, voici la dixième édition d'un ouvrage désormais bien identifié qui s'est imposé comme le classique grand public en matière de cinéma. Rédigées par une équipe d'une soixantaine de critiques du monde entier, les 1 001 entrées qui composent cet ouvrage sont classées par ordre chronologique, du Voyage dans la Lune de Méliès (1903) à The Revenant d'Alejandro González Iñárritu (février 2016). Ce classement permet de suivre l'histoire d'un art né au début du XXe siècle : la naissance du parlant (Le Joueur de jazz, 1927), l'apparition de la couleur (Le Magicien d'Oz, 1939), l'évolution de genres tels que le western, la comédie musicale, l'horreur ou le fantastique, ainsi que les grands mouvements esthétiques comme le néoréalisme italien, la Nouvelle Vague française, les superproductions américaines autant que les films d'avant-garde. L'édition française de 1001 films est enrichie de films ayant particulièrement marqué le cinéma français, parmi lesquels Drôle de drame (Carné), La Grande Vadrouille (Oury), Les Tontons flingueurs (Lautner) ou encore Le Roi et l'Oiseau (Grimault & Prévert) ; une vingtaine de films font leur apparition depuis la neuvième édition, parmi lesquels Gravity, La Vie d'Adèle (Palme d'or à Cannes), The Grand Budapest Hotel ou Le Réveil de la Force, le 7e volet de la saga Star Wars.
