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. : /

@Meowayne:  Most of them are very very old fucked up movies which were voted best by old people. Im not interested in seeing so many 30s-70s movies... 
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 .

Ahmad: You should. Age has nothing to do with a quality of the film - both in the negative and in the positive sense. 
 
For example, I have recently seen "North By Northwest" for the first time. Excellent movie. You'd be surprised at how "modern" a good old movie can be.

I'm pretty happy with the 79 movies I have seen on that list so far.  Which is good for me since I was only born in 1988.
 
And Meowayne 100% right North by Northwest is an excellent movie.

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.

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!

@chrissedoff: How is a revenge movie for teenage stoners? 
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.

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.

@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.

Only 48 for me. I'm actually surprised I've seen that many, as I'm not a huge film fan.

250 is a big number.  The film doesn't have to be a masterpiece to be on that list, it just has to be great.  I think it's a pretty accurate list, I can't think of a movie that should be there but isn't.

The real test of a person's movie taste is counting the amount in the bottom 100 you've seen.

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.

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.

This. On the left side of the page there's a corresponding list with the 100 lowest rated films.

I counted 107.
 
But that list is far from definitive. There's some questionable films on there like How to Train Your Dragon and many others such as Ed Wood and Children of Men that should be much higher, but IMDb doesn't exactly have the most intelligent userbase.

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.

My roommates are trying to see them all.  One of them only has about 50 left.  I don't need a list to tell me what to see, I just see things that I think are good.  I have seen a lot of those movies though.  I don't want to count or make a list, but I'd guess at least 150 of them.

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.

EDIT: I have seen 122 of them, basically half, not bad.
