Would be interesting to know who has seen how many, who has seen the most etc.

I have seen 135 apparently.

I have the short term aim of seeing all of the top 50 of the list. I have seen 23 of the top 25 and 44 of the top 50...
 
most of em i guessi do have them as well.. however was not able to afford buying all so most of them are downloaded stuff but i love watching movies.. almost one movie a day..
 
in top 50 - 6 not seen
50-100 - 22 not seen
100-150 - 15 not seen
150-250 - 39 not seen

total 82 not seen, 168 seen.

imo imdb isnt a "balanced" list . Heavily biased for US films. Seeing such problems as no hindi movie on the list etc.
You can say its more of a top 250 US list.

Maybe this is a better list ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_greatest_ever#Countries

Reached this conclusion after trying a similar attempt at watching top 250 and got some duds surprisingly

There are many lists out there and there is no such thing as a best list. Each list has it's flaws. I am trying to finish the Top 50 IMDB, TSP and 21st Century for the near future. Other lists I track, though none very closely can be seen here.

You might want to check out this list for some classic foreign films too. I can't see recent films like Lives of Others there though.

@hydra,

Your profile gives me a clear 'target' and incentive to catch up on all the movies in my wish list ;)

Hahaha :) That website make us do that. For a while after I joined, I was like a bull in a china shop. Looking up movies, getting them and watching them, all with a sense of purpose. You seem to be a pretty prolific movie nut too!

I've been watching movies at the rate of about 4-5 a week since I can remember, but I must say icheckmovies makes me feel woefully inadequate as a movie watcher/nut -- there are sooooo many good movies left to watch just in the '70s and '80s, I doubt if I will catch up with them all in the next couple of years to come.

@alokbharti, nice profile. You seem to be missing out on a lot of the (not-so-) old-is-gold movies from the 60s, 70s and 80s though! You should try them out too!
 
i've seen around 50% of them but tell me are all of them worth watching? especially some of last 50 movies? anyone seen them all could shed some light.
