I was surprised to find I had seen 92, thought it would be a lot less. Skipped a few because I think I've only seen half, or can't completely remember.

 

Oh and if you didn't recognise the covers, a few of you may be able to tick these without realising :)

 

Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away)

Mononoke-Hime (Princess Mononoke)

Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)

Hauru no ugoku shiro (Howl's Moving Castle)

Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbour Totoro)

Tenkû no shiro Rapyuta (Castle in the Sky)

 

And

 

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie)

Vita è bella, La (Life is Beautiful)

El laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)

Der Untergang (Downfall)

Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In)

 

... 14. The majority of those being Disney/Pixar films. =P

Not even Terminator films? Alien? Indiana Jones? Do you just not really like movies? You're missing out on a vast amount of amazing cinema here.

Just 53, I am surprised.

 

Shite like Memento at 29 and quality stuff like Back to the Future at 70? The Maltese Falcon at 103?! This list is fucked.

 

All these modern animations but none of the timeless genius work. Disgraceful.

 

EDIT: 56 after Shorty's pr0 translation remix.

I'm sure everyone's aware of this but just in case, IMDb is ranked solely by user ratings, so there's not really any 'choice' involved. In the case of the top 250 it's narrowed to logged in users who make regular votes, so as not to be skewed by idiots who vote The Shawshank Redemption as 1-star because it doesn't have boobs in it (you saw that Amazon review thread, you know that kinda shit happens).

I kept losing count, but I feel pretty good about myself cos I'm usually terrible at seeing films! I think I've got about 57/58 with like...4 halves? Had to lookup a few of the foreign names, I think I caught them all! Bit sucky that some of the things in the list were sort duplicates, having specific films from a series or then having the generic as well? They must have been short on ideas!

 

I will take this oppurtunity to recommend a film from the list, Mou Gaan Dou, which is the original and totally banging Hong Kong film upon which The Departed was stolen from. Everyone raves about The Departed, but it's totally cashing in.

 

I got 67 (thanks Shorty for Spirited Away and Pan's Labyrinth).

73, which doesn't surprise me. I've not seen a lot of 'classics'.

 

Although the number may be slightly higher as I know we've been shown a lot of films at uni, many of which have probably slipped my memory.

I did watch one of the Indiana Jones movies fairly recently. Think it was called Temple of Doom? Didn't think it was that great, though... And as for Terminator, no, haven't seen a single one of those, heh.

 

I can't really say why I don't watch that many movies, because I don't really know myself. Well, I do consciously choose not to watch some movies due to the blood and gore, which I can't really handle that well. Heck, even the surgical scenes in hospital shows are capable of making me faint. =P

Come to think, was Indiana Jones even in there?
108, ctrl+f is your friend ;)

I went through the list to find you some great movies with no blood. There really isn't very many. But to name a few:

 

12 Angry Men

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Back to the Future (cant think of any...)

Some Like it Hot what am I thinking?? There's a big gang shootout at the beginning. But if you skip that...

Groundhog Day

The Truman Show

 

But yeah, you definitely shouldn't watch Terminator :heh:

I've seen 102 on that list... thanks to Shorty's list of translations that put me into triple figures :)

 

Can't believe The Departed is in there but no mention of the miles better original Infernal Affairs... I may just make an IMdb account and start voting up some films :heh:

I don't know, I haven't seen them (I do have TGTBTU though, just not got round to watching it).

 

What's your point?

 

That there are some random films on that list, that surely could be replaced with something else.

 

 

Quite a few animated films on there (as good as they may be) that are taking the place of some other films that may of deserve to be there.

 

it's not everyone's cup of tea but Titanic? A Beautiful Mind, Crash.

 

 

I guess the list cant cater for all tastes, but just some random films on the list.
