How many films on the "1001 Movies to See Before You Die" list have you seen?

[Dilusha Bandara]

 

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!
