And my totals:

• Watched - 148 - 59.2%, I call that a win, but one that can be improved upon easily.
• Not watched - 66
• Never heard of - 36

If you'd like to steal the list for your own use, here it is... the Internet Movie Database Top 250 (or just take it from above). I'm not entirely sure I agree with this list. I wonder how some of these 2014/2015 release movies will fare once they've been out on home video for a while. It just doesn't seem like there should be enough of a representative sampling of reviewers for movies like Rush and Kingsman: The Secret Service (actually a February 2015 release; I think its rating is inflated) to be here. I guess time will tell.

How do you fare on this?
