Tally: 45/100 seen. Own 2.

The majority of the ones I have seen were movies that someone else wanted to watch in my presence. *shrug*

There were a few movies on here that I want to add to my DVD collection though. :)

[foenix.livejournal.com]

I've seen 55 or so. I got distracted by parents and lost count. ;p

I'm being dragged away and can't count how many I owww...ack!

[southerndave.livejournal.com]

Of the movies on that list that you haven't seen: I'd highly recommend "Big". I also really enjoyed "The Naked Gun", but it might not be so much to your taste.

I've probably seen about a dozen or so of them and own precisely none of them on DVD or video (going by a quick skim of the list).

And on a completely unrelated subject... are you at all familiar with a manga called "Ragnarok"? Someone's selling a batch of them on Trade Me but not saying much about them.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I've heard of Ragnarok, but haven't read it. My understanding is that it's fun, most mostly S&S with boobs and muscles.

[bae-mac.livejournal.com]

I've watched 26 movies from this list. hmmm...correct me if I am wrong but Godfather is not included in the list?

[jennawaterford.livejournal.com]

It's for the past 25 years (or since 1983), so, yes, the Godfather is not included. Nor Star Wars, Jaws, etc.

I've seen 57 of them.

[southerndave.livejournal.com]

Might have been too early: only movies of the last 25 years are included. I'm not too clued up in the genre, but didn't The Godfather come out in the `seventies?

[southerndave.livejournal.com]

It does sound fun. And with how rare it is to find any second hand manga over here, I'll give it a try (unless someone else is prepared to bid silly money on the books...)

ack! Sorry..my bad! I was thinking best movies of all time...=)
