The following is a list of all 750 movies I've ever seen. Just in case you wanted to know. Keeping in mind that I currently have a 'to see' list that includes the A-List (National Society of Film Critics), Ebert's ongoing list of great films, Filmsite.org's second and third 100 lists, the 100 misunderstood great films list as published in Time Out twelfth edition, and the AFI's thrilling, passionate, and funny lists, what films that I am not planning to see should I check out? As in, the ones that are obscure and prob. not on these lists.

Hi,
I have seen half the titles you've seen (336 to be exact plus 8 that I'mnot sure of). There are however few films in your list that I would really like to see (again).
I am impressed that you remember all films you have ever seen. I couldn't even begin to list them.
Holey shmoley! me neither!
What made you decide to list them all? How long did it take?
How/why I did it
It wasn't as hard as you may think- I'm only 19 years old, so I went through the stages of my life- birth through age 8 during which my parents took me to see many children's movies that are easy to recall, elementary school, during which I saw movies on HBO and in the house that I should'nt have, middle school, a time of action films and movies we saw in class, high school, more class movies and action films, and finally a great spurt of films from summer 2002 to today during which I saw more films than ever before. I just brainstormed, and I keep a journal of notes on films, and went through lists on the IMDB such as all the videos released since 1999, and that was it.
i'll second that... ma good gawd..
erm.. noticed that there are two films called die another day, one bond and one.. not.. whats the not bond one about?
if that makes sense.. do i make any sense.. at all... ever... doubting it. lalalalalaaaa
Can u guess what film my signature quote is from?!?
Ok scrap that last Q as u havnt seen it according to ur list... any1 else?

You didn't answer WHY you did it...
I'd be more impressed if you could list 750 books you've read... Most of those movies are like feeding your mind cotton candy instead of nourishment. What else have you done with your life? Are you in college? If so, what is your major? If not, do you work?
Why
I did it b/c it's summer and spending a day doing it sounded pretty good. I want to keep track of every movie I ever see; yes, I should read more, as I've probably read less than 50 books in my life (majority would be school-assigned), but hey, Roger Ebert's a smart guy, he has a degree in english lit., but he sees thousands of movies. I am in college, my major may very well be media studies before going to film school.
I disagree with princesspupule. Among some very commercial flicks, you have certainly seen more good films than the average European (and of course much more than the average American).
I am a movie list fan, too. But I won't list my 2100 films (I started my list at 15, 35 years ago), all rated. I have the list of my best 10 films of any nation, of my best 10 of every filming year, top ten comedies, top ten sport, top ten musical, top ten western, etc.
I used to make book lists too (and yes, I've read more than 750... but a lot less than 2100), but quit (the list, not reading) after a few years.
You guys are nuts!
I'm sure that I've probably seen 750 movies in my lifetime, but it never occured to me to keep track of them. (though I envy people who make decisions to do things like that at a young age. I always wish I had thought to do that!)
I could not even fathom the number of books I've read, never mind remember the titles! Before college, I read a couple hundred books a year (from age 4 through age 31) Then I didn't have time for a few years to read anything but text. It took a couple more years to be able to get back into relaxing with a good book, but I still only read, on average, less than 3 a month now. And I don't see movies as often as I'd like either.
I think it's my computer's fault!
I guessed that adt4m was a youngster on the basis of the titles in his list. The amount of films is not so extraordinary though. If we assume that he cannot remember anything before the age of three, his list represents an average of about 1 film per week during his last 16 years; that is quite reasonable.
I have also read more than 750 books, but for the past years I have been way too busy to indulge in reading. However, I can easily beat the 1 film per week average and since I have many more years to my name, I must have seen many more than 2000 as well.
(not bragging, I just like the cinema; I used to be an operator in a film house for a couple of years, as a hobby)
It is funny. I ought to thank adt4m, for his post has made me think of many great (and not so great) films I have seen over the years (while thinking about what would be on my list, like "hey, yeah I saw that one too, which reminds me of another and another, etc.") There are also scores of films that I remember, but for which I could not for the life of me give a title (as in "Moroccan film, early 1980s, plays in the wool dying (colourful imagery of drying strands of wool for the carpet industry) neighbourhood of (probably) Fez. The protagonist was an old man who had been crippled by hard work". Any suggestions?)
I keep both sorts of lists too; I'm not that old, but since I started making the lists at age eleven, I have read 1,768 books and watched 812 movies... not counting the movies and books from childhood. If I hadn't started at such a young age, I would not have bothered to 'recap.' (I do the ratings thing too, Fbaezer. I bet that you could make a really good reviewer; would you ever publish your lists?
Fbaezer has over the years given A2K a pretty good list. As if anyone needs to guess, I've likely seen over 5,000 movies in my lifetime. At least I can browse through the Halliwell or Maltin books (sic) and recognize nearly every title I run across.
At 19, 750 is an impressive start especially with some films on the list that rise to the level of cinema masterpieces. As far as reading, the best seller list is evidence that reading isn't always an attribute. I'll stick to rereading Proust.
Re: Every Movie I've Ever Seen
adt4m wrote:... what films that I am not planning to see should I check out? As in, the ones that are obscure and prob. not on these lists.
First off, let me say that I am quite impressed. Not just by the fact that you were able to compile this list, but also by the fact that you've seen quite a few excellent movies. And I applaud your intention to see the great movies that haven't yet made it on your list. At a time when Hollywood is targeting your peer group with Rob Schneider movies, it's good to see someone your age appreciating the classics of cinema. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions:
As far as I can tell, after a brief scan of your list, I see only four silent films. Of course, three of these four -- "Battleship Potemkin," "The Gold Rush," and "Greed" -- are some of the greatest films
ever, so you're off to a good start (I also love "Nosferatu," but I wouldn't rate it as highly as the other three). I'd also recommend: "Intolerance," "Metropolis," "The General," and, if you can get your hands on it, "Safety Last."
There is a disturbing lack of Marx Brothers movies on your list. I only see "Duck Soup." You need to see all of their other Paramount pictures ("Cocoanuts," "Animal Crackers," "Monkey Business," and "Horsefeathers") and their first two MGM films, "A Night at the Opera" and "A Day at the Races."
There's a good representation of Stanley Kubrick films, but I don't see "Paths of Glory" on there. Remedy this situation post haste.
Your list is weighted heavily toward American cinema -- which is understandable. Still, you need to broaden your horizons beyond Hollywood. "400 Blows," "8 1/2," "Europa, Europa," "Seven Samurai" -- that's a good sampling (French, Italian, German, and Japanese) -- but it's just a start.
Please, pleeeeease, say that you saw "Manos: The Hands of Fate" on MST3K and not in a theater or on video.
If you want some more suggestions, you can take a look at
my list of 100 films I want on DVD
I'm compiling a list of films I haven't seen. I'll check back in say....two years.
BTW Joe, good post.
I wonder how one would go about to create a list of "all films I've ever seen" in retrospect (the problem being how to remember all those, less than remarkable films one sees in a lifetime). I have been thinking about this, thanks to adt4m, and come up with a few possibilities:
1. Look for the filmography of directors whose films you know you have seen.
2. Look for the filmography of actors/actresses whose films you know you have seen.
3. Walk through a well-stocked video shop
4. Read the movie-lists of other people posted on A2K
5. Look through film encyclopedias
Do you have any other suggestions. I do not actually have time to compile such a list now, but if ever I reach retirement I might go about it (or at an earlier moment of boredom, after all, watching films is nicer than listing them
)
I highly suggest everyone watch the Doc "CINEMANIA" the people profiled in that could probably put most of us to shame. I keep track of the movies I see b y getting all the movie list books like Maltin's and checking off the ones I've seen. I do keep a list of the ones that are so obscure that they aren't even listed in Psychotronic.
I'm kind of glad I don't know exactly how many films I have seen.

The official Internet data base is here:
www.imdb.com
I use I consistantly as it also provides links to reviews of each film. It's film clip database is a bit wanting but if one subscribes to the professional version, it's even more facts about each film.
Ebert's list of Great Movies on his site
http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/greatmovies/ is also helpful and the official sites for AFI (American Film Institute) and BFI (British Film Institute). Sight and Sound magazine is a part of BFI and can be very helpful in its archives.
Thanks, I have been using it during the weekend. To put this list thing to rest, I have started drafting and I am already up at 1850 titles and not nearly finished, but I think I'll stop at 2000 for it is getting increasingly difficult to trace films (those of which you know only the plot, but no names or titles).
Obviously, the less wonderful films are the most difficult to remember
