    I think I watched less than you. If I were to choose one from the list, I’d go for Braveheart. I’m quite surprised you haven’t watch The Godfather or Rocky yet.

    I have seen about 53 from this list so far. Still have not seen Gone With The Wind and really have no desire too. I know I should get on that eventually

    I decided to back and count after reading the comments and came up with 63! Since I’m nearly 62 that seems easily appropriate~ some surprise me that i missed them. some i’m surprised you have missed! i remember THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH was very emotional for me and I am surprised that DOCTOR ZHIVAGO isn’t on this list! And, YOU CAN”T TAKE IT WITH YOU and IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT are both in my permanent dvd collection. It is nice you can take your time catching up on this list and that movies are being kept and saved and made available.

    I’m up to 40! I also have a Best Picture Project as a constant running feature on my blog. Where I look to catch up not only with the winners but the films that have been nominated as well.

    I’m a bit obsessed with watching them all actually! Not very close yet. Seen them all back to Tom Jones and about a dozen which are older than that. I’m not sure I’ll ever get through all the 1930s ones though!
