Begun in 2007, Doubling the Canon is an annual project which aims to expand the Film Canon as crafted by the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They website. Originally it was a selection of 1000 movies to complement TSPDT's 1,000 Greatest Films, now it is a list of 1000 which complements the 1,000 Greatest Films and the companions 1001-2000 and 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films.

This project is compiled and voted on by cinephiles from around the globe every year, originally at Imdb's Classic Film Board and currently at icmforum.com, in the months after the posting of that year's TSPDT list.
