In OS X (and 9 and earlier, I thought) Cmd-Click allowed on to select multiple items of your choosing.
In OS X, Shft-Click selects all items between the first and last Shft-Click, inclusive. I don't know if this applied to earlier OSs, I didn't learn that trick until going to X.
Assuming you were able to do it before with over 1000 items, it may be time for Repair Disk, Repair Permissions, boot with Cmd-S, DiskWarrior, or some combination of the aforementioned.
