how many of the movies listed in IMDB's top 250 do you own on DVD?
http://www.imdb.com/chart/top

52 ..55 if you count 3 that a family member "owns" that I do not consider part of my collection..

1 :( T2..

69 including family members, which is only like shrek and monster's inc.

68 of them.

Tim :-)

35.. still working on it

16 for me. I never buy what's in the top anything lists. I buy what I like. :)

Currently, out of my collection of 250 films, 89 are on this list. There are about 40-45 more that I am planning to get either when they get better DVD treatment or when I can set aside the funds.

It's a suprisingly decent list, although about 50 of those films are schmaltzy feel-good entertainment masquerading as good cinema, and another 30 or so are only on there because they're recent and thus still fresh in people's minds.

Just 23 right now. I'll own em' all one day. :mad:

I have 33, and I see a few that I still need to get. How about we add to this game and also tell how many you have on the bottom 100 list?

I have 4, Smokey and the Bandit 3 and 3 Police Academys, I don't feel ashamed of those, I bought the sets. Although I did enjoy City Under Seige, should I feel bad?? -confused-

51 here, several more on my want list. Some still on VHS :eek:

I have 42 of them, but there are a bunch i'm planning to buy.

I own 80 from the list (I'm including The Incredibles since it'll be out on Tues)

I see that the special edition DVDs for the Leone movies brought them higher on the list. A few years ago, I remember that Good/Bad/Ugly was somewhere in the 50's and Once/West was around 80.

I have 33, and I see a few that I still need to get. How about we add to this game and also tell how many you have on the bottom 100 list?

I have 4, Smokey and the Bandit 3 and 3 Police Academys, I don't feel ashamed of those, I bought the sets. Although I did enjoy City Under Seige, should I feel bad?? -confused-

http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom
have 5 on the "bottom" list..

I have 72 counting some that I have on order.

92, at least if I counted right. A few of them were blind buys, but most of them I bought because I really like the movies. There are many more on the list that I hope to own pending better releases/more funds.

Currently...104, soon to be 105.

61, however as much as I love IMDb, I pretty much hate their Top250 lists, there are way too many current movies there that definately do not belong.

http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom

I'm not ashamed to admit I have 5 of them: Hercules in New York, Robocop 3, Police Academy 5 & 6, and Superman IV.

71. 72 counting The Incredibles. A few more on my wishlist that I haven't gotten around to buying yet.

68 of them. pretty surprising

77 or so. Two things about this list, though:

1. I was surprised by how many good movies are out there I still "keep meaning to pick up."

2. I don't trust the IMDB Top 250 anymore. Something about the way they tally votes just doesn't add up in my book to a true top 250 list. I think it has to do with how many flicks from the last year get on it so quickly simply due to the number of votes. Finding Neverland is good, but not one of the best 250 films ever made. Even if you took every best picture nominee (also not an indicator of the best 250 films ever made), there's over 350 of them, and I'm not sure if it would be in the top 250.

I own 65, but with a few more releases on the horizon (Incredibles, MDB, Sideways, Hotel Rwanda, etc ...) that number will increase.

65 and counting...

33, a whopping 1/3 of my collection, plus one more on vhs.

And yeah, there's a bunch more on my mental wish/mean to buy list.

74 here

Currently have 150 on the list. Would have had about 10 more but sold off some them because of rumors of better editions coming in the future.

I currently own just over half, at 128 (out of a collection of 797). I've owned an additional 13 of these in the past, but sold them.

130, going from memory.

101. There are quite a few more I probably would have or will buy if the price is right. Or maybe I'll wait now, and get them in HD...

It's certainly not a definitive list of anything, other than "250 Movies that a Lot of Internet Movie Geeks Like," but it's useful nonetheless.

I have 103. Well that blows my belief that I have unique film tastes.

I don't have any of the Bottom 100.

74, the Incredibles next week will make it 75

131 here. I used to follow this list a lot when I was first building my collection. I've sold at least a dozen of the ones I didn't deem as must-have.

I own 91 0f the top 250, my collection is up to 345 now. There's definitely a lot of things on that list that I'd like to pick up as blind buys. Surprisingly, I don't have any from the bottom 100 list.I looked back through the list and realized I missed five that I have because I didn't recognize the foreign language titles. How embarassing. :o I still couldn't find any that I have in the bottom hundred though. :)

36 (with maybe another 30 in my "to buy" list )

47 of the top 250

4 of the bottom 100

I have 46 of em, about 40 or so to go

I own 53.

I own 47 of the top 50, 85 of top 100, and 148 of top 250.

...55

I have 87...

I own 80 from the list (I'm including The Incredibles since it'll be out on Tues)

Ditto

However, there are about 30 more from the list that I will be acquiring at some time ...

183.

Also 45 of the first 50, and 89 of the first 100.

There's some of the others I wouldn't mind having, quite a few (Life is Beautiful? Shudder) I'd never own.

I don't seem to own any of the bottom 100.

I only have 25.....gotta start buying more!

I've got an even 30 of them. Only a few more (less than 10) on that list that I'd even wanna own.

52, unless i miscounted and missed some foreign language titles as well.

I've never looked at the list before. I have 155 on either DVD or laserdisc (like King Kong, not yet out on DVD) including a few of last year's movies that I'm getting as soon as they're released (like Sideways).

I don't have any in the bottom 100. Really.

50. More if you were to count VHS.

Too bad this list is just a popularity contest. Too many truly great movies are missing.

There must have been some movement in the botto 100 in the past few months. I own 0 of them now. :)

I own 36% (90 movies) of the top 250

None of the bottom 100 :)

53! Yea! :)

111 and counting.

This list must change quite a bit or something, because based on the list I'm seeing, I find it extremely hard to believe the people who say they own none of the bottom hundred. Not saying you're lying or anything ;), just hard to believe.

183.

Also 45 of the first 50, and 89 of the first 100.

There's some of the others I wouldn't mind having, quite a few (Life is Beautiful? Shudder) I'd never own.

I don't seem to own any of the bottom 100.

:eek:

we have a winner?

I own the following movies & I'm counting dvd & vhs because I can't afford to replace all of my vhs. I wouldn't want to own a lot of those movies because they seem to be mostly dramas & I can watch a drama once or twice & admit that it's good. However I wouldn't want to rewatch them all of the time.

Star Wars (1977)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
The Matrix (1999)
Fight Club (1999)
Vertigo (1958)
Se7en (1995)
Some Like It Hot (1959)
L.A. Confidential (1997)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Fargo (1996)
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
The Princess Bride (1987)
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Gladiator (2000)
The Terminator (1984)
Twelve Monkeys (1995)
Trainspotting (1996)
Forrest Gump (1994)
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
The Insider (1999) (I really only own this because at the time I was obsessed with Russell Crowe & had to have all of his movies.)

I will be buying the following at some time in the future:
Back to the Future (1985)
Lost in Translation (2003)
American Beauty (1999)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
Garden State (2004)
The Last Picture Show (1971)
Groundhog Day (1993)

I used to own these but I had seen them enough & didn't think I'd end up watching them again so I sold them:
The Exorcist (1973)
Magnolia (1999)

I absolutely hated these movies:
Before Sunset
21 Grams (2003)
Yes I watched all of both of them. Before Sunset was so disappointing to me. I loved Before Sunrise, but I never thought that many people even liked it until I heard about everyone buying the 2 pack with both films when it was released.

I plan on renting the following:
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Manhattan (1979)
Sideways (2004)

I own from the bottom 100:
Crossroads (2002)
Soul Plane (2004)

I do like the following from the bottom 100 but I don't own them:
Glitter
Rollerball (2002)
Torque (2004)

76 at least on the top, not including 3 or 4 not released yet that I plan on getting.

2 on the bottom. They shouldn't count. Rollerball (2002) - got that free. & Superman IV-Quest for Peace, that was part of the boxed set.

:eek:

we have a winner?

Yep, he's got me beat: 113, here.

Of the bottom 100, I own 3, and all came in boxed sets:

Smokey and the Bandit 3
Robocop 3
Superman IV

This is from a collection of under 500 titles (to put it into perspective, the guy with 183 has just over 1,000 titles). Not too shabby. I think the list is a good guide for anybody starting off a collection that they would like to see variation (but quality) in.

-JP

10 from the top, 0 from the bottom.

Rob

147 at this very moment. About 30 on the list I'll have at some point.

47 on the top 250, and one from bottom 100 (RoboCop 3)

43 (including yet to be released, but certainly will be purchased, Incredibles & Sideways).

59 + The Icredibles = 60 next week.

119, not counting double dips.

6 or so on the bottom.

Edit: I have since acquired The Incredibles and have 2 more titles pending: Apocalypse Now & Sunset Boulevard

I have 132 (131 with 1 more pending: Raging Bull; there are still a bunch more that I want to get or that haven't been released yet like Million Dollar Baby.

I have 5 of the Bottom 100 (You Got Served, Police Academy 5, 6, & 7, and Robocop 3) (The Police Academy movies are part of the box set and Robocop is part of the Trilogy)

If I count "The Incredibles" and "Laura", which I'll be buying on Tuesday, I have 135 from the top 250.

All "best of" lists are different and slanted one way or another. My DVD buys tend to include more movies from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s than the average DVD buyer. I think that's why I have 135 from my 399 DVD collection on the IMDB list.

wow, i have 125 of them.

I own an even 50, or 20% of the list. The 50 comes out to about 17% of my collection. There's still a few off the list I want to get, and others I'll never get.

38 but i own 55 total if you count family

95, with three more being purchased in the next month (Incredibles, Sideways, Finding Neverland). I only own about 350 movies.
when you saw "only" 350...you say disparagingly. nothing to be ashamed of...it's a fine number!

I own 23 of them on DVD.

I own 91 of them, including a few which I have on pre-order, such as Sideways.

I use it as a guide when selecting movies I haven't seen

From the bottom 100:
Battlefield Earth
The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre
FearDotCom

116

180 from the Top100 (I won't waste the bandwidth by naming them here)

4 from the Bottom100 (Robot Monster; Spice World; Barb Wire; Superman IV)

Strangely, Ed Wood made IMdb's Top100 list, but Plan 9 from Outer Space is missing from the Bottom100!

CORRECTION/UPDATE (as of 5/9/05):

221 from the Top100 (245 have been released in R1)

180 from the Top100

60 for me.


This list must change quite a bit or something, because based on the list I'm seeing, I find it extremely hard to believe the people who say they own none of the bottom hundred. Not saying you're lying or anything ;), just hard to believe.


I don't think it's hard to believe at all. I own 1 (Superman IV) and only because it came with the boxed set. Of the other 99, I don't think I've even watched any, let alone owned them.

Only 47

I don't think it's hard to believe at all. I own 1 (Superman IV) and only because it came with the boxed set. Of the other 99, I don't think I've even watched any, let alone owned them.Stew

I agree. I own close to 1,900 titles and of the bottom 100...I own only 2. Superman IV for the reason you mentioned, and the best bad film on the list.....Bride of the Monster. I love good bad films and have many in my library, but those films on the list just plain suck.

110 not counting the films that have yet to be released that are on that list.

I have 141 of the 250.

Quite a few aren't out on DVD yet. Quite a few are just there because they're recent.

Still. I have over half of them.

I have 74 of the top 250 with several more on my wishlist.

That's impressive.

Hahaha. Well played.

-JP

70 out of the top 250.

7 out of the bottom 100.

It's Pat: The Movie
Hercules In New York
Teen Wolf Too
Smokey And The Bandit Part 3
Street Fighter
RoboCop 3
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace

Plus a few more on my wish list, or recent releases (Rhinestone comes to mind)

55**********

I hope I got all from the list, as I was doing it in a hurry.

80.

12. (The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Schindler's List, Lawrence of Arabia, Goodfellas, Fight Club, Saving Private Ryan, Once Upon a Time in America, Heat, Gandhi, Roman Holiday, Back to the Future)

Scrolling down the list, I couldn't help but notice how many movies from the last year or two that are on that list already--the same goes for the bottom 100. It really says something about IMDB, as any movie that is deemed great as being a great movie will be bombarded by "10" votes, and any movie that is deemed horrible will rocket to the bottom 100.

I own 59 of the top 250 and 2 of the bottom 100.

I own Teen Wolf 2, only because it was a double feature with Teen Wolf 1, I've never actually watched the sequel. The other was Cat in the Hat

28 for me

I own 23 (I think) - some surprising nominees in the top 250 IMO, I mean Spirited Away is very good, but in the top 250 films ever made? Come on :rolleyes: It was one of the best films released in its year though (2001 or 2003).

I own these (at least these are ones I consider part of my collection) -

Shichinin no samurai (1954)
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

I was astonished at how many really horrible movies there were among those 250 films. Who votes for these things, 11 year olds?

129. It will be up to about 140 with some coming releases. Not much interest in the other 110.

Only 46. There were only a handful that I want but don't already own.

Could you give some examples of some of these "really horrible" movies. Because as far as I can tell most of the films on the list got quite a bit of critical acclaim, even if it may be a stretch to call them one of the greatest movies of all time.

There certainly are too many modern movies on the list, but if it was completely mainstream I don't think we'd be seeing films like "The Seven Samurai" and "Fanny and Alexander" among the more "common" ranked movies.

Still, I'm of the opinion that movies like "Spirited Away" and "Spider-Man 2" deserve to be on the list. They aren't the most influential movies ever made, but I find them to be incredibly entertaining. It's better if you look at it as a list of a slightly more intelligent than mainstream opinion of the most entertaining great films.

Overall though it's kind of hard to categorize the list - for every "Snatch" there's a "Wild Strawberries."

metaridley,

You probably want to change your collection link. When I click on it, it goes to my collection (and if someone else does, it will go to their page if they are signed in). You have to add your username to the end of it. Check the bottom of the DVDAf for the entire collection link for the whole html address.

Could you give some examples of some of these "really horrible" movies. Because as far as I can tell most of the films on the list got quite a bit of critical acclaim, even if it may be a stretch to call them one of the greatest movies of all time.

I wouldn't say that there are a lot of really horrible movies on the list, but there are plenty of mediocre ones that happen to have devoted geek followings (the type that vote in online polls on IMDB). These films include: Se7en, Leon, Reservoir Dogs, Braveheart, Kill Bill, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, Shrek, Life of Brian, Gladiator, Magnolia, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Almost Famous, 21 Grams, Snatch, The Shawshank Redemption, etc. Most of these movies aren't bad, but they're hardly the pinnacle of cinema. I think of them more as stepping stones, "My First" sorts of pictures that people see in high school and that get them interested in film.

Then there are the WTF recent films like Hotel Rwanda, Sideways, Life Is Beautiful, Finding Neverland, American Beauty, etc., that won't even earn a footnote in cinema history except perhaps for their box office numbers.

Finally, there are the super-schmaltzy older films that have survived because of the populist attitudes they embrace, films such as It's a Wondeful Life, Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc. I don't think of these as classics so much as just old movies.

Currently, out of my collection of 250 films, 89 are on this list. There are about 40-45 more that I am planning to get either when they get better DVD treatment or when I can set aside the funds.


Exactly. I own 89 as well, and several of those remaining are those on my "to buy" list.

Of the ones I instantly recognize, I have 31 (maybe some more if they are listed by a foreign title).

I can agree with some of what you are saying, but all of those older films you mentioned are classics and if anything deserve to be higher on the list. I agree about some of the more recent films. I have seen many of them and have no interest in buying them on DVD. Most don't seem to me like they will hold up at all 10 years or more from now. Many of the recent Academy Awards Best Pictures like American Beauty had me shaking my head when I watched them. Good films yes, but really the best we had to offer for the entire year? The Academy really has a bad history of picking top films.

71...surprised I have that many

123...a few more not on dvd yet, that will be on my shelf soon...some in the next few weeks

95 on DVD, maybe 20 others that are still on VHS. For instance, I don't have KING KONG because I'm waiting for the remastered SE. There are maybe 30 more that are on my want list (HIS GIRL FRIDAY, SUNSET BLVD, THE BIG SLEEP, etc.)

Exactly 90. Pretty proud of meself!

103 here.

I have 35 of them (including The Incredibles and Eternal Sunshine... which are en route), of the 105 (film) titles I have (0 from the bottom 100).

Ive got 35 of em'

I have 38 of them.
But some of the films on there list are not that great what gives?

I have 38 of them.
But some of the films on there list are not that great what gives?

What 'gives' is that great is subjective. There are a few films on there that I absolutely detest, but evidently many others love.

I don't know, I think they're all quality films...at least in respect to cinema on the whole. Place any title from the top-250 alongside a title from the bottom-100 for confirmation of this. But like "natevines" said, it's all subjective. The titles are voted on by guys and gals like you and I. Most people are fans of Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby. I wasn't too blown away by either. However, I can understand and accept their placement on the list because I'm well aware that I'm in the minority with my unfavorable impression of them.

-JP

I have 31 of the DVDs, but I find the list to be silly. To many current movies, not enough classics nearer the top.

I have 2

but I find the list to be silly. To many current movies, not enough classics nearer the top.

By my count, close to 60% of the films on the list were made before 1980.

-JP

I don't have 54 of them, plus or minus a couple from eyeballing the list.

Several aren't out yet so it's kind of hard to own them.

81...with some on order.

I like the idea of averaging the collection, Quake!

As for me… I have 100 out of 217, giving me an average of 46%, and I never consciously sought IMDB for advice as to what title to get, unlike some people I know.

217? do u mean out of 250? :confused:

out of 217 is the 46% that he mentioned
only 40% out of 250 (assuming he stopped counting at #217, because he didnt have any of the final 33)... cant really manipulate the percentages by stopping counting at the last one you have.. Otherwise, someone that only had the first one.. could say 100% ;)

Could you give some examples of some of these "really horrible" movies. Because as far as I can tell most of the films on the list got quite a bit of critical acclaim, even if it may be a stretch to call them one of the greatest movies of all time.

OK, maybe "really horrible" was overstating it a bit, but below is a list of movies from the IMDb top 250 that IMO range from terrible to mediocre:

<b>Memento
The Matrix
Requiem For a Dream
Kill Bill Vol 1
Kill Bill Vol 2
The Sixth Sense
Cinema Paradiso
Terminator 2
Run Lola Run
Return of the Jedi
Talk To Her
Lost in Translation
Being John Malkovich
21 Grams
Garden State</b>

I was suprised to find that I have 49 of them. Several are on my to get list. Not a bad list if you like arbitrary lists developed by someone else.

202 I had no idea i had that many
All the top 50
93 out of the top 100
Only own 1 in bottom 100

Wow - I have 148 of those! (It would be a bit higher, but there are a few titles that haven't appeared on DVD yet!)

59%

Terrible to Mediocre? The Sixth Sense was a rare Hollywood "intelligent" suspense/horror film (though Unbreakable has more rewatch value IMO) T2 is a superb action blockbuster, Matrix is also a very good intelligent action film (much better than the sequels). :)
I agree I was also scratching my head at KB1 and 2 but even they were good fun. :)

"I disapprove of what you say but I defend to the death your right to say it"
(Voltaire).

The chart works better if you take it as a snapshot of movies people find entertaining in the here and now. I don't agree with some of the choices but resepct them ;)
As you said wendersfan its just your opinion which is OK :)

69 and I saw about 15-20 others that I will probably get at some point.

I currently only have one from the bottom 100 (Robocop 3), but may up that number soon with the addition of Superman IV. I'm a sucker for completing series.

#232 Lock,Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (I guess this was just a mistake,i think this movie was meant to be on the WORST list):down:
#245 Spider-Man 2
#249 Heat

This is a bogus list. Summer School staring Mark Harmon is not in the list.

56 of the 250

This is a bogus list. Summer School staring Mark Harmon is not in the list.Courtney Thorne-Smith was really cute in that film.

151, 152 tomorrow

141 for me, with several more on the horizon. Also, another 20 or so that I WOULD buy if they were given higher-quality releases.

EDIT: Also, I'm happy to say I don't own a single one of the bottom 100.

217? do u mean out of 250? :confused:

Sorry, :blush: I meant 100 titles in my 217 strong collection are in the top 250 IMDB list. That's how one gets the average.

175 of the top 250
16 of the bottom 100

Courtney Thorne-Smith was really cute in that film.


:hump:

I have 87 with 5 more ordered.

65. Some of them I'm waiting on Special Editions. Some of them are not out on DVD yet. Some of them I will never own. But 65, as of today.

I'm also proud to say I own only ONE in the Bottom 100 List -- Marci X.

I just checked the bottom 100 and I own one of them:

RoboCop 3

And that's only because it was part of the trilogy boxset. However, I don't think it was that bad that it deserves to be in the worst 100 films of all time. There are plenty that were far, far worse.

I've got 62 of the top 250, which represents 19% of my total collection.

Only 1 on the bottom 100 - Superman IV as part of the boxed set.

Street Fighter is the only one from the bottom 100 that i have.

I have about 158 movies from the top 250 list.

80 of the top 250
7 of the bottom 100 (including MST3K's)

I own 30 from the list. About 20 off the IMDB list are on my wishlist including The Godfather trilogy and the Star Wars Trilogy.

202 I had no idea i had that many
All the top 50
93 out of the top 100
Only own 1 in bottom 100

i havent been checking this thread
but it looks like we have a new leader??

i havent been checking this thread
but it looks like we have a new leader??

twikoff has DVDs? I thought that he just watched sports all the time ;)

seriously, how many of the top 250 do YOU have?

twikoff has DVDs?

rotfl

Watch him have like 2,000. :lol:

82 from the Top 250
0 from the Bottom 100

Currently...104, soon to be 105.
now. it's 105 with the addition of "Cinema Paradiso"

rotfl

Watch him have like 2,000. :lol:

he can only have so many copies of Auburn beating Alabama in football ;)

90 at the moment.

I also have 4 Bottom 100, but 3 of them are MST3K and the other one is Smokey and the Bandit 3 from the franchise collection pack.

94 at this time. The list changes towards the bottom often so + or - a few.

Top 250 ---> Exactly 100 (with three more being ordered soon).

Bottom 100 ---> 0

Looks like 76.

If I counted correctly, 63, although there are many that I have seen, and plan to purchase at some point in the future. There are also quite a few that I haven't seen, but I would like to at some point.
