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.

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.

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

I don't have any of the Bottom 100.

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 looked back through the list and realized I missed five that I have because I didn't recognize the foreign language titles. How embarassing. I still couldn't find any that I have in the bottom hundred though.

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.
