*work in progress* of every film mentioned or referenced in the show gilmore girls, in chronological order. season, episode and character who mentioned it will be in the notes of each movie. adding as i rewatch (this is my 4th series rewatch). i'm currently on (S6E13) of making this list. if you want the alphabetical list of movies, look here. i definitely believe my list for this concept (there's other lists out there, of course) is the most thorough you'll ever find :)

*warning* the list contains spoilers of the show, as each reference to each movie is listed in the notes. don't read the notes if you don't want spoilers please.

using the gilmore girls wiki and the gilmore girls movie references tumblr as cross references for anything i might've missed. will note if they are the reason the title is on the list. after S3E20, i have to use the episodes list from the references tumblr, because they haven't watched any of the movies after that episode, but they do have all the movie references listed. i've just figured that out and am very happy about it, because the wiki often leaves references out, and the tumblr seems way more caring about the attention to detail.

if you know of anything i missed lmk! also using the annotated gilmore girls page to help me when i can tell something is a reference, but don't know what it's a reference to. the annotated page only runs through to partial completion of S3 though (S3E17 - i'm unfortunately passed this point of the series now).

i'm also doing a tv shows list on trakt.tv. i will watch (or rewatch) every movie (mostly) on the list, which is why it says "my rating" after each reference explanation.

episodes with no movie mentions:
1. S1: all S1 episodes have references.
2. S2: all S2 episodes have references.
3. S3: all S3 episodes have references.
4. S4: all S4 episodes have references.
5. S5: to my knowledge, S5E21 has no movie reference.
