Wow. I've seen 37. Serves me right for being a projectionist....

37!

(sorry)

No need to apologize; it's all about the lasagne.

I've seen 44 but I'm missing some very good ones.

Now did you count movies you've sat down and watched from front to back or just ones where you've seen "most" of it? If I go by a strict interpretation, I'm a mere 15. But there are movies that were simply part of the background when I was growing up (Both my parents loved movies). Should I be able to count "Gone With the Wind", "From Here to Eternity" and "Casablanca" even though I've technically not watched them properly. I've probably seen every cell of these films, just not all together.

SEEEN it.. implies WATCHED it. LOL Enough to be able to have a conversation about the movie. IF my son had to do a report on a movie... I would expect him to have WATCHED THE MOVIE! LOL. Not gone from screen captures! LOL

A report on a movie??? WTF? What happened to a 'book report', you know, something that required LITERACY skills. Fer fuck's sake.

These damn kids and their teachers, always on my lawn, always messin' with my Buick...

So which is it? Seen it from beginning to end or enough to have a conversation about the movie.

If it's the latter, my "score" is a damn sight higher.

On the way home today I purchased "The French Connection" and "All about Eve" So we will at least have 2 more!

The movie is so yours! about 15 minutes into I looked at Catalytic and asked "so, when does the movie start?" 30 minutes into I looked again at him and asked "Do you have any idea what is happening?" He replied with a *blink blink* "um, nope." Then a while later Catalytic commented "wow, I think its over...."

So yeah, the movie is all yours.

Yah ... I'm at 65/80.

We only have 18 in the collection of movies though.
