There are only seventeen films from the list that I've seen in their entirety.

There's some I've tried watching (Frankenstein, Casablanca) but for one reason or another the viewing was interrupted, and one that I own but haven't watched because the quality of the DVD is poor (His Girl Friday.)

[iam1bearcat]

[Secretagentnumber6]

I have seen 13 of them, many of them I have been meaning to get around to sooner or later. I have seen parts of a lot of them that I did not incliude in the 13.

I really want to watch Metropolis, so maybe I'll buy the upcoming Blu-ray disc. I'm considering buying Studio Canal's The Third Man release in September. I also don't really feel like a film fan until I've seen Citizen Kane and Casablanca.

[MarkJ801]

Where is this list coming from, by the way?

It's from a book. I'm disappointed that the original Japanese version of Godzilla is left off from 1954. That is a great film.

[broganreynik]

Only 6. Sheesh, I need to work on that.

[fdm]

106 so far. Probably more.

36. I have quite a few of these in my Blockbuster queue, I may have to bump them up. Fortunately, there are a lot of Hitchcock films on there and I have seen almost of his movies, so that bumped this number up a bit.

Seen 10 of them, quite a few of them in my film analysis class this past year.
