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

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?

I thought the omission of East of Eden and the inclusion of Giant was surprising. The former is superior in every way. There were others, but those films were toward the end of the list so I remember it better.

I thought the omission of East of Eden and the inclusion of Giant was surprising. The former is superior in every way. There were others, but those films were toward the end of the list so I remember it better.

 

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

[75Live]

Only been through the first 2 pages, but i have seen 179 of the first 200.

 

This will take a while so I will just check the list in spurts

[Plain Old Tele]

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

 

You want me to list 388 movies?

[mahnamahna]

@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?

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

There are many that I should've seen but haven't, and a bunch of others that I've seen parts of, but can't really say I've seen all of them.

Thanks.  

 

Yeah, I have seen a ton of movies in my lifetime.  Most of the ones i haven't seen are the foreign ones as growing up, I wasn't into them yet.  Obviously my tastes have expanded since then

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.

 

Thanks.

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.

[mahnamahna]

Wow, I need to get moving on this list lol

[Lordmandeep]

These lists are a good guide for great films.I remember when I was 14 I thought stuff like Spiderman and x2 were the greatest films.Then I went down the imbd list and I was amazed...

[Sims]

I was very surprised that Mulholland Dr. was not on the list.

Yep! Don't forget Shrek 1 & 2 lol! But I'd say Spider-Man 2 and X2 are still pretty great but they pale next to the classicsI'm pretty sure Mullholland Drive was on the list at some point. I thought RoboCop, Gremlins, and Goonies would be on here. Same with most of the Pixar films and arguably the 1st Shrek.I think some of the films on the list are simply there because they're old - a lot of them aren't even all time classics. Although since The Muppet Movie is on there, I can forgive omissions lol

[75Live]

329 of first 400.  I was on a roll on one page, then the next page was a lot I didn't see.

[CoolioD1]

519. I remember I got the 2010 edition and binged a bunch of these movies. 

[Jack Nevada]

How many? Not fucking enough.
