So shorts count?
Yes, anything released in the cinema first.
So no TV films?
Wel, no, not really (but then, how many great TV movies can you think of?).
Few great Lynch films were still missing

I know a lot.
Many great films which were released in cinemas were actually shot in the first place for TV (like e.g. My Beautiful Laundrette). Some of the best German films of the last years were mere TV productions.
And there are many fantastic TV series, of which many critics say that the better cinema happens meanwhile on TV.

Nixon (1995)
-
Fort Apache (1948)
-
Akira (1988)
I would be the last one to say there aren’t many good TV series, however, the title of the thread does state: 1001 Movies to Watch Before You Die. Not TV series.
Yes, I know, but some of this series are more like a very, very long movie.
