I've seen 30/50. I own maybe 12 of them myself, and my friends own the rest of what I've seen.

39. Some of those wouldn't make any list I'd put together as they weren't all that memorable to me.

37. I'm very surprised that some of those movies made the list. They'll all good movies, but many of them not top 50 caliber.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the Top 50 movies? Only in ATOT.

EDIT: It is one of my favorite movies, but I highly doubt it is one of the 'best' movies. This is what happens when we let fanbois vote.

I've thoguht of getting Netflix to go through the list of one's I haven't seen, and maybe AFI's, too. 23/50, need to see at least 26 (It's a Wonderful Life? I've seen a few minute's worth, and I'll pass).

Thank you. That moviie was terrible. The wife and I didn't even finish watching it. It wasn't compelling at all.

I would think Sound of Music, Gone with the Wind, and other classics would've made the list.

Never underestimate the power of Tolkien fans.
