Passion
1000Greatest is the place to indulge your passion for music, words and images. It's a place where expressing your opinion makes a difference. And it's a place where
finding surprising connections between a Novel and an Album, a Movie and a Single can take you on an inspirational journey of discovery.
Expression
Feel free. Your Top 10 Albums, Movies, Novels, Singles directly affect the 1000Greatest. Favourite novel not listed? Add it. Know something we don't? Write a Snippet
and increase your Cred. Think Citizen Kane sucks? One-star it (but mind your Cred). Know it all? Stake your reputation (and Cred) in the 1000Greatest Challenge.
Inspiration
You never know where you'll end up in 1000Greatest (that's why it's addictive). Somewhere you've not been most likely, wondering why you've never heard, read or seen it.
You can get there by chance or you can set your own course: "I rate Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell and love Hitchcock. What Science Fiction books would I enjoy?" or
"I'm looking for a movie that's thought-provoking and stimulating." You could be inspired to a whole new passion while your passions are inspiring others.
