The IMDb Top 250 - 365 challenge - Page 2

I think I'll start with the Top 100, see how far I get and use my existing blog to document it, should be fun.

I'm in, updates will be here http://erutaerc.wordpress.com/2009-imdb-challenge/

I've only seen 36 of those films....god help me.

I'll give this a go but not sure how I'll be getting hold of most of the titles

Will probably post my progress here as I don't have a webpage to post on.

Interesting challenge. Do we have to watch them again if we've already seen them? You're not going to make me sit through Kill Bill 2 again are you?

My list is 112 seen and 138 still to see. Although I need to check some of the foreign films as I may know them by the english title.

I popped the list into an Excel sheet with which I can supply if anyone wants it.

I'd better start with the Godfather triology which I've managed to see all of but only in bits and pieces.

Pumpkinstew · 04-01-2009, 12:53

How come The Departed is on the list and the original (and superior) Infernal Affairs isn't?
Where's Ghost in the Shell?

It is a brokelist

I'm going to see if I can have a bash at this at well, can you make the Excel sheet available please.

Feek · 04-01-2009, 13:36

I've added a progress thing as well, it's here if I've done it right.

Pumpkinstew · 04-01-2009, 13:39

Here you go.

Just put 'y' or 'n' in the seen it column and the totals should update.

I lost the hotlinks to IMDB importing the text unfortunately.

I like the info popups on your page feek.

EDIT: The sponsored links on Requiem for a Dream say 'Fun Stuff', 'Drug Addiction' and 'Step by Step' in that order

Feek · 04-01-2009, 13:58

Thanks for that. This is going to be tough, I've seen 48 but as I read it, the challenge is to watch all of them, not just the ones you've not seen already.

From the list that Pumpkinstew posted I've watched only 86 of the top 250, it might be more but if I was unsure or couldn't remember for definite I've not counted it. I do have at least 20 of my unseen films in my DVD collection to watch already though, I just need to find the time and interest to sort it out.

The problem with the IMDB list is that at any given time there are too many new films in it, although that usually gets sorted out in time you can see several films from 2008 in the listing, while there have been some great films released in 2008 I struggle to believe there are anywhere near as many as the list would suggest that are stone cold classics.
