Posted by jozjozjoz at May 23, 2005 04:20 PMI count 22 -- I can't believe that you haven't seen Star Wars, Psycho, or The Godfathers!
ps... thanks for watching the spotted nose one - loved the reports! HA!
Posted by: sharkythekid at May 23, 2005 06:00 PMI've seen 29 + own 5 more on DVD. And somehow I still managed to not have seen what should have been the free pass, which was Finding Nemo.
Posted by: yukino at May 23, 2005 06:17 PM60 out of 100! i'm a film geek
Posted by: fashmagslag at May 23, 2005 06:38 PMwow I've only seen like 11 of those movies... but I did think all of them were good, cept Star Wars... I may be one of the few that absolutly hated those movies. They were well made, I just hated them.
Posted by: Sarah (Jesus) at May 23, 2005 06:55 PMI have the list on my site, but my pings was denied for "questionable content". I must be really, really naughty.
Posted by: Michael at May 24, 2005 06:42 AM26 for me -- not too good, considering I've been around longer.... yeesh.
Chalk up a whopping 49 seen by me. But then I'm Joz's Answer Man and as such I'm obligated to watch a lot of the esoteric and arcane cinema found on that list. Either that or I'm just like way too old.
Posted by: Will Campbell at May 24, 2005 04:05 PMHey Joz. Don't know if you saw my reply to your comment on my site, but we're not going to Cinespia this weekend as we'll be out of town. We'll let you know the next time we go, though, so you can join us if you're free! :)
Posted by: nanette at May 25, 2005 10:13 AMI did the whole list. 34. And I can't believe you've never seen Star Wars either!
Posted by: tee at May 26, 2005 08:56 PMi got 35, but I'm old. ;)
I was so happy to see "Kind Hearts and Coronets" and "Miller's Crossing" on this list...two of my fave movies of all time.
Posted by: panthergirl at May 27, 2005 05:51 AMI know others have commented on this already, and I feel moderately stupid doing so again, but really, I mean honestly --
-- YOU'VE NEVER SEEN STAR WARS?
Woman! Get thyself to thy Netflix que!
Posted by: Malnurtured Snay at May 27, 2005 05:08 PMI count 27. I joined Netflix several years ago and watched movies I had heard about my entire life but had not seen. Now I blog.
Posted by: Russell at May 28, 2005 07:17 AMI've only watched 11.
Posted by: David at May 29, 2005 09:28 AM
I just played and put my answers up. You've NEVER seen Star Wars? OR the Godfather trilogy? How is that POSSIBLE?
