Saw 24 out the 250 best movies list and 6 out of the 100 worst movies. The only conclusion I can make out of this, is that I have to watch more movies.

Have seen 23 of the 100 first movies and 19 of the rest.
...And 3 of the worst. Could have been worse.

185 of the best
about 12 of the worst- harder to say, because a lot of those were "Saw part on cable " I have to point out that I've been watching movies for a lot longer than most mooters. (or should that be )

I've seen 42 of the top movies and none of the bad ones
Though I thought 'Quills' was an amazing movie and shouldv'e been on the list. Though not all that many people have seen it.

Update:
Around 50 of the 250 best, 4 of the worst. And I remember seeing the end (/other parts) of many of the other movies, but since I can't remember the rest I'm not counting them (though I may have seen them...some time ago...).

Of the best, I've seen 32 of the top 100, and 22 of the rest.
Interesting how many of the best ones are recent releases. I noticed Braveheart and Gladiator were fairly low down on the list, despite the fact that they were hugely popular when they came out. I wonder how the new movies will fare in a couple of years. I think Mostly Martha should be on the best list too. Of the worst list, I've only seen one: Bio-dome. That was a dreadful movie, but I've seen worse that weren't on the list. Someone mentioned Waterworld, I agree that was an awful movie. Throw Momma From the Train and Dancer in the Dark are the worst movies of all time, in my opinion.

Of the best movies I've seen 145, though there are some on that list I'd not put in the top 250 of all time and some movies I'd put up that wasn't there, the list seems to be fairly representative of all genres and most of the movies listed definitely count among my favourites.
Of the worst I've seen 13, most of them when I was still a kid & too young to realise that I am allowed to use my brain All of them certainly deserve to be on that list. |

Hm, out of the worst movies I have only seen "Batman & Robin" and "Spiceworld".
I liked "Batman & Robin" and "Spiceworld" was supid, but funny.

Just to be controversial (that seems to be all i can do) and to express a valid viewpoint...
How could Star Wars be omitted from the 100 worst? I saw 'Topsy Turvey' a docu-film of the work of Gilbert and Sullivan (and hated it) but enjoyed it more than Stars Wars. Of course iot led to some fascinating discoveries. e.g. the amount of chewing gum that's stuck to cinema ceilings. |

I've seen about 15 of the top 250, and some I haven't even seen all of. Pathetic, I know.
Haven't seen any of the worst. Quote:
Why weren't the LotR movies on the top of the list, and why is Pirates so low down on the list?!?!
