NEWS YOU CAN USE NYTimes.com is serving up a list of the "1,000 Best Movies Ever Made."

Click on a title, and you're directed to a page that links to the original New York Times review. (The link is semi-hidden in the upper right quadrant, under "More On This Movie.") Think of it as a kind of NetFlix cheat sheet.

Who knew, for example, that the Times' critic panned DOUBLE INDEMNITY for its "monotonous pace and length" and its "academic...plotting." Ouch.
