I've seen them all but Passion of Christ and Narina.
I have all but 7.
Of the 7, I owned 5 at one time but resold.
I plan to get Narnia.

I only have 25 from the better list (the second one). But I'm looking forward to collecting the other 25 much more than I am picking up the missing ones from the first list.

It's simply a matter of taste, and with certain notable exceptions the highest money-making movies tend to be a bit too conventional for mine. Frankly, I put no premium on having a collection that looks exactly like what you'd find at a Tulsa-area Blockbuster.

I own 35 from the first list and 24 from the second. Personally I put much more merit into AFI's 100 Best and Sight & Sounds Best lists.

I don't necessarily avoid "popular" Hollywood movies just because they're popular, but I guess my tastes don't tend to jibe with the average moviegoer. I own:

13 Finding Nemo
31 The Incredibles
38 Toy Story 2

and--in general--I'm not a huge fan of animation...
