101 [Genre] Movies You Must See Before You Die
Edit
The same people who brought us the 1,001 Movies books have also produced six other books for the 101 Action, Cult, Gangster, Horror, Sci-Fi, and War Movies we must see before we die. Some of these movies cross over to the 1,001 Movies list, but many are unique to these books.
Viewable and downloadable tracking sheets for all six of these sets of movies, complete with columns indicating which movies are also in the 1,001 Movies list, can be found here: http://www.listsfromchip.blogspot.com/2012/05/1001-movies-you-must-see-before-you-die.html
In addition, the same link above has a consolidated tracking sheet of the 348 unique movies that are in these six volumes, but not in the 1001 Movies list. This sheet can be viewed and downloaded.
