The list is constantly changing, of course. Just to get a general idea. You can find the list here:
http://www.imdb.com/chart/top
My latest count was 109. Its horrible, being a fan of movies yet born in the late 80s - so much to catch up on. : /
How many of imdb's top 250 movies have you seen?
Dont get me wrong i love me some classic movies but the industry has ALOT to offer as masterpieces than so many old classics ..
Edit: My score is 88 .
Last time I updated http://www.icheckmovies.com/list/top+250/djhusky92/ I had seen 34. I have most of them on the list. Just haven't watched them yet.
120 and, wow, there are some bad films in there. Pirates of the Caribbean, Inglourious Basterds and Lock, Stock are three of the 250 best films of all time? Get out of town.
EDIT: I completely agree with North By Northwest. If you didn't know the actors, you could probably convince someone it's a modern film with grindhouse style film making.
you don't have to see every one of those movies. just because they're rated highly by imdb users doesn't mean they're great movies. for example, you can skip donnie darko and oldboy, they're pretty shitty movies on the real.

Is there something similar for games?
If I counted correctly, I have seen 48 of those films, which is actually less than what I thought it would've been. That list fluctuates and different movies come and go quite frequently, though.
And Oldboy totally is a great movie. I didn't know what to think of it when I first watched it, but after letting it sink in for awhile, I realized I loved it. I should try to watch that again soon.
26... to be honest as someone who is far from a big movie fan and only really watches a film about every 2-3 months or so , I expected the number I had seen to be a LOT lower!
unless stoners are cooler than any I've ever met. Seriously.
Oldboy:
The film follows the story of one Oh Dae-Su, who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae Su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and violence. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef.
" @davidwitten22: tremendous[ly dumb] movie [for teenage stoners] "I'd love to see your justification for that, because Oldboy is one of my favorite movies of all time and it's so clever and well written.
i wouldn't even put oldboy on the level of saw, in terms of plot believability. it's more like saw 3. it's a goddamn crime that oldboy is sitting pretty in the top 200 and blue velvet isn't even on that list at all.
" @Briguile: it's one of those "bro! that shit was twisted!" movies that achieves that effect with a plot that makes some pretty absurd stretches to arrive at its neat little conclusion. just as an example: how the FUCK did that guy know those two people would fall in love and have sex? that is IMPOSSIBLE, and people should have too much respect for their own intelligence to just accept oldboy's stupid, manipulative plot. i wouldn't even put oldboy on the level of saw, in terms of plot believability. it's more like saw 3. it's a goddamn crime that oldboy is sitting pretty in the top 200 and blue velvet isn't even on that list at all.

" @HandsomeDead said:To be honest, the only thing any of them need is to be popular with IMDb users. There's other lists out there like Roger Ebert's Great Movies which are longer but have a more consistent tone to them." 120 and, wow, there are some bad films in there.

" @Rirobuge: What? because out of the thousands and thousands of movies made, the bottom 100 on a list of 250 are gonna be bad? "I think he means the list of the 100 lowest-rated films ever made. Not the bottom 100 of the top 250.
On topic: I've seen about 170 of the 250 on that list. Some of the movies on that list just plain shouldn't be there and have been vote-boosted by legions of fanboys (Kick-Ass? Really?). But most of them are really classic.

As an avid film fan for a while I was trying to do the list, however it changes frequently so I may just copy and paste the list at at current time and go for it.
Also another list to go for is the WORST MOVIES and suffer through that.
" Eh that list is shit. I mean LOTR among the top 10 movies of all time? Seriously? I mean it was decent, but I can think of probably 250 movies I considered better. "Are you kidding me? LOTR was a kick ass series. I think you would find the task of naming 250 better movies to be quite difficult.
