Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I've seen 7. Which is number 27. in the list.....TROLOLOLOL My number is 73. Edited April 19, 2011 by ReZourceman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2011 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.

Posted April 19, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2011 Ive seen 99 of those. I think its possibly more though, when I was younger I did used to watch a load of old movies but I can never remember which ones they were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2011 52 for me. Like a few others, I've watched little in the way of what you'd call classic cinema (pre-1950s). Some strange choices on that list, but mainly a lot of reminders that I need to watch certain films I've missed/not gotten round to yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2011 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).

Posted April 19, 2011 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.

Posted April 19, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2011 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. 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, even the surgical scenes in hospital shows are capable of making me faint. =P 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 Edited April 19, 2011 by Shorty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 19, 2011 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...

Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited April 19, 2011 by Murr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
