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)

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.

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 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).
