1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

[Shiny]

How many have you seen from this list? What would you say is your favorite film in list and why? It's okay if you haven't seen all of those films, you can still have a fav.

I haven't counted, but I figure by the end of this year I'll be around the 400s.

EDIT: The link I gave above cuts the list a bit short.

[Shoeberto]

Some very interesting choices, especially with the contemporary films. If I had to guess, I'd say I've seen around one hundred of those, largely from the '80s onward.

[Seraphic]

Wow I actually counted and I barely got 100,lol.
I had recognized alot of them,but I've never had the chance to see them.
As for my favorite movie on the list,that's really hard, they are all so good!
Alot of my favorite movies of all time are on this list,lol.
But I'll have to go with Kill Bill just because on this one.

Who the hell has time to watch 12 weeks' worth of movies? x_X

[Meat Puppet]

Why <i>must</i> I see them? What will happen if I don’t?

[Yar]

Interesting, I've also seen the list of "1001 Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die"

btw, in case you didn't notice, the list is in chronological order, rather than "quality" order.

[krissy]

82

but if i was to count the number which i've seen pieces of and never finished this would go up

i've never bothered finishing titanic

[Dolentrean]

Ok, I have seen more than I expected to have seen from that list. Of the ones I have seen my favorite may be, Casablanca, The Godfather, or maybe The Shawshank Redemption.

[Kirobaito]

I've seen about 75 of them all the way through. Probably another dozen or two that I've seen part of the way through. I've never liked old movies very much.

Try a lifetime worth. You've should have started when you four, girly.

Apocalypse. And a huge black bear will come out of no where and maul you to death.

I've never liked old movies very much.

I used to be like that. I refused to watch anything that wasn't in color and/or not a talkie. But after watching many of the silent films on this list (which by the way I had no idea they were on there till now) I decided to give them more of a chance. Lucky number 7, Broken Blossoms is pretty good, but I have to warn people that it has a white man playing an Asian man. He has tape on his eyelids...

[Wolf Kanno]

I counted roughly a 121 on the list I've watched all the way through. Saw a couple I've been meaning to watch as well like the original silent film Metropolis. Course my favorite on the list is my all time favorite film of Mononoke Hime.

[Breine]

I actually have the book My mom gave it to me as a present for my birthday since I love movies.

[Mirage]

This list is totally age-biased. all the top films are reallllly old.

I've seen quite a few of the bottom half of the list.

You will be culturally flabby and socially retarded

Pretty much anyone does, most people here will have easily spent that much time watching movies in their life

That's because it's chronologically ordered.

Anyway I could go through the list, or I could go and actually watch a movie so

[Rocket Edge]

I'd say I've watched about a hundred & fifty of them. In my eyes, the cream of the crop being 12 Angry Men (57), The Apartment (60), The Shawshank Redemption (94), & City of God (02). Little disapointed not to see Death on the Nile in there, I loved that movie.
