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)

That's impressive.

60 for me.



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

Only 47

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.

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.

<b>Own These (10):</b>

Casablanca
American Beauty
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Saving Private Ryan
Before Sunset
Ikiru
Hable con ella (Talk To Her)

<b>Wish List (or will get when released):</b>

I own 120 of them, with a few dozen more to be added, definitely (some that I want are not on DVD yet, or in inferior editions).

124...125 on Tuesday (Incredibles)

I own 40/250. Interesting, but I don't like how IMDB ranks its movies (even though my all-time favorite IS listed as number one).

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)

65, several others I've owned but traded away as not being keepers.

Looks like I have 48, with 3 more either on order or intend to order.

Surprised to see Bride of Frankenstein but not Frankenstein.

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.

That's 69 titles. I don't seems to have any of the Bottom 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.

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).

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.

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