I understand that - there's a couple movies where I've seen parts of it (Full Metal Jacket is a glaring example) but I haven't watched it in its entirety. But that's still quite a list even if you take out the ones you've only seen parts of! I'm hoping to get there soon enough... film by film. If it weren't for Instant Netflix and TCM, I wouldn't even have seen more than 50-60 of them lol. Yeah, I haven't got into foreign films yet. The Bicycle Thief was excellent though... and most of Studio Ghibli's output is great especially Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. But I haven't watched any Kurosawa, Godard, Bergman, Renoir, Fellini- I've seen 2 Sergio Leone films though. I liked The Good, the Bad and the Ugly a lot - though the dubbing was a little off-putting at first since I thought it was an American movie now I know it's a spaghetti western!! No worries lol. Most of the ones I've seen are from 1977-present day If you took those out, I haven't seen nearly as many films... although it doesn't help that most of the movies I've seen aren't on the list - and I'm talking about good ones that would be considered classics.

If you want to, sure! I'm just baffled that you've seen that many on the list! Really that's an amazing achievement you've got there... although I probably wouldn't list all 388 movies

@75live 179 out of the first 200?! Yeah I'm gonna guess you've seen over half of it at least! Nice job, sir!! I'm trying to pick 100 movies from the list to watch over the next year before I go to college and begin learning about Film Production with a second major that could be either Marketing, Theatre, or History. I've got 40 so far (in the list above) and I've seen 187/1099 (172/1001 if we go by the 2012 list) Any ones you've seen that I didn't list among these 40 that you would recommend? [*]Grave of the Fireflies [*]Reservoir Dogs [*]Unforgiven [*]Pulp Fiction [*]Se7en [*]Fargo [*]Princess Mononoke [*]L.A. Confidential [*]Fight Club [*]Spirited Away [*]The Departed [*]Akira [*]Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [*]A Fish Called Wanda [*]Roger and Me [*]Total Recall [*]Moulin Rouge [*]Four Weddings and a Funeral [*]Black Swan [*]The Sting [*]Taxi Driver [*]Life of Brian [*]The Thing [*]Blade Runner [*]Ordinary People [*]Terms of Endearment [*]Vertigo [*]The Great Escape [*]My Fair Lady [*]Giant [*]Gone with the Wind [*]Strangers on a Train [*]The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo [*]Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy [*]Drive [*]Bridesmaids [*] West Side Story [*] There Will Be Blood [*] Apocalypse Now [*] The Marriage of Maria Braun

Gran Torino

I've never watched East of Eden - I know it has James Dean, and it's directed by Elia Kazan but I've never seen it. Here's 25 I'd say ought to be on the list: The Pride of the Yankees (1942) Bambi (1942) National Velvet (1944) The Yearling (1946) Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Cinderella (1950) Gojira (1954) Lady and the Tramp (1955) Old Yeller (1957) The Longest Day (1962) Fantastic Voyage (1966) Soylent Green (1973) Logan's Run (1975) Animal House (1978) Superman (1978) The Blues Brothers (1980) Trading Places (1983) My Neighbor Totoro (1988) Christmas Vacation (1989) The Little Mermaid (1989) Aladdin (1992) Finding Nemo (2003) Anchorman (2004) Spider-Man 2 (2004) Iron Man (2008) Up (2009) There's others that should be there but those are 25 off the top of my head

Alright! I've got 40 films on my must-watch list now... this is great! Although I did find some of the omissions surprising... am I the only one who was wondering things like "Where's Miracle on 34th Street?" or "Where's Bambi?" - stuff like that?

You just have to type it into google - Listology has all of the films ever listed on it though!

Which ones have you seen? That's just epic lol

Yeah a lot of them are really short though - Duck Soup, Frankenstein, Dracula, and those Buster Keaton films are all 60-70 minutes tops. And I'd say Frank Capra, John Ford, Hitchcock, William Wyler, and Michael Curtiz are five directors to follow from Old Hollywood. Good luck with watching the classics!

Ok, gonna put it in my Netflix queue! I've only watched 1 foreign film (Bicycle Thief) but I've been wanting to broaden my horizons film-wise. I'm gonna give it a chance.Any films I listed that you haven't seen?

I definitely have been meaning to watch Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, and West Side Story! Good thing AN is on instant Netflix. Black Swan and There Will Be Blood are on cable quite a bit but I should probably just put em in my queue.Can't say I've heard of The Marriage of Maria Braun though... I'll have to look that one up!

I sent mine!! Although it was hard for me to stick to just 100 films - I have between 150 to 200 films I'd consider great to excellent

Yeah from the list as a whole. There's 1099 that have been on it at some pointJust wondering how many everyone's seen! And which ones I ought to watch next!

Since I was born... 1998 1999 2001 2002 2003 2004 2008 2009 2010 2012 This year probably won't be or next... but 2015 looks killer!!!

Robert Downey Jr. Jennifer Lawrence Johnny Depp Steve Carell Daniel Day Lewis Amy Adams Clint Eastwood Morgan Freeman Denzel Washington Steve Buscemi John Goodman Sandra Bullock Emma Stone

So this is a list of films to see before you die and so far, after 2.5 years of using the list and starting at roughly 20-30 films, I've seen... 187 out of 1099 (that's including every film that's been on the list). How many of these have you seen? Which ones should have been on the list? And which ones would you recommend I watch that are also on instant Netflix? Hope this sparks good discussion - here's the ones I've seen!

I don't think so because there's so many open slots remaining... plenty of room for a few more big films

Remove Assassin's Creed and Smurfs 3 (both of those look like box office disappointments), add in the ones I did... and you've got a monster year for box office - $11 to 12 billion domestic yearly total, 2015 awaits you!! not to mention there's still other films to be announced for that year (likely a few more tentpoles are coming for the summer and definitely for November & December!) I really think 4 $400 million+ films are possible in 2015 (Avengers 2, Star Wars Episode VII, Mockingjay Pt. 2, and Finding Dory) but highly unlikely - either way that's going to be one huge year if you ask me!! But there's still plenty of unoccupied tentpole dates! May 8 (no clue) May 15 (no clue) May 22 (Star Wars - Episode VII pretty much owns this date lol) May 29 (no clue) June 5 (Ted 2 would be perfect here - but I could see JPIV going here too) June 12 (This is another great date for Ted 2) July 17 (no clue) July 24 (something will go up against Smurfs 2 lol) July 31 (Peregine isn't a tentpole really) August 7 (no clue) August 14 (no clue) August 21 (no clue) August 28 (no clue) November 13 (Bond 24? Maybe not since Ant-Man and Mockingjay would massacre it) December 11 (Alvin 4 isn't really a big tentpole) December 18 (major tentpole here - Sherlock 3 or Mission Impossible V) December 23 (no clue but it's Christmas week so something will go here) There's still plenty of weekends open for new tentpoles so 2015 isn't done adding them - I'm expecting Adam Sandler to have another film out that year while DodgeBall 2 is apparently coming out that year as well.

Of the ones I've seen: Joey King - Oz: Great and Powerful Benedict Cumberbauch - Star Trek Into Darkness Jonah Hill - This is the End Henry Cavill - Man of Steel Ben Kingsley - Iron Man 3 Honorable mentions: Michael Shannon - Man of Steel Robert Downey Jr. - Iron Man 3 Guy Pearce - Iron Man 3 Bruce Campbell - Oz: Great and Powerful Zachary Quinto - Star Trek Into Darkness

Forgot about it lol: ill give it 5.5 million

Sadly a smidge under: 297 million

Most of Disney's post-Lion King, pre-Meet the Robinsons animated films (except Hunchback, Hercules, and Stitch) don't appeal to me - it was really a dark age for Disney animation IMO, since Rescuers 1, Pooh, Aristocats, Fox and the Hound, Great Mouse Detective, and Oliver & Company all had that Disney charm still - some of them were pretty bleak though

Considering it's only making 20 million this weekend... I'll take the Monsters U one

I understand that - Monsters U, Cars 1 & 2, Brave, Bug's Life, and IMO Ratatouille aren't absolutely amazing movies by any degree - but only Brave is truly terrible (can't comment on MU since I haven't seen it yet) I love Despicable Me in the same way I love Shrek 1 & 2 & most of the Pixar movies I just listed (hated Brave though) - it's a hilarious, fun movie, not high art just a fun movie Can't wait to see DM2!!
