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

[mahnamahna]

329/400? I'm expecting you'll end up past 500 then! Maybe 750-800 by the end. 512 is amazing too! Can't imagine ever getting there!!And there's never a wrong time to start watchin them, Jack!

[grim22]

157 totally. Surprisingly, there were only 4 Hindi movies on the list, and no "Sholay" which almost everyone considers the best Hindi movie ever made. (Not necessarily "the best" but the perfect encapsulation of what a Hindi movie should be)

Some movies are worth a watch.

 

They change your views on life.

 

I remember I watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and it taught politicians are liars.

301 from a quick count

[Jake Gittes]

207

[rukaio101]

148 for me.

[ThatMovieGuy]

I can't believe I have only seen 258! 

[riczhang]

I assume this list is ordered by importance because I've seen all but two of the first 100. 

 

I missed: Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Which I have been wanting to see, seeing as it's supposed to be one of the best Bollywood films ever) and Akira 

 

 

And I do have to confess that I have the 2010 (?) version of this book and made a very concious effort to try to see a lot of these films.
