Re: How many of IMDb's Top 250 have you seen?
I've seen exactly 200, which is 80% of the list. Of the movies released before 2000 (185), I've seen 170, or 92%. Of the 65 released from 2000-present (), I've seen 30, or 46%.

I've seen 201 of them. Some of them I've regretted seeing, of course--pretty much all the recent ones.

91 and there are more I have seen enough of but didn't count.

But really, wtf is up with the tons of new crap that squeezes out better, older films, like The French Connection?
