30 Movies - Bronze
20 Movies - Copper
10 Movies - Coal

If you're going to re-post your entire list every time, please hide it under spoiler tags.
If you're going to post pictures for the films (poster art or Blu-ray covers, for example) please try not to use GIANT pictures, and if there are tons of them, again - please hide under spoilers.
