Via bassfingers: go here and note which movies you haven't seen in any format.



1. Titanic
(3. Shrek 2 - not seen in its entirety)

13. Finding Nemo
15. The Lion King
16. Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
24. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Warderobe (see comment on #10)
29. Meet the Fockers

48. The Exorcist
50. Cars (I do want to see this before it leaves theaters)

Okay, if I pretend I've seen the ones I've seen part of, this isn't too bad. I've seen 64% of the top 50. Let's continue:

56. Ghost
58. Saving Private Ryan
59. Mission: Impossible II

67. Batman Begins
69. The Mummy Returns
70. Armageddon
(71. Gone With the Wind - not seen in its entirety)
72. Pearl Harbor
74. Ice Age: The Meltdown
75. Madagascar
77. Men In Black II (we own it and haven't gotten the guts together to watch it yet)
78. Grease
81. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
84. Batman Forever
85. The Fugitive
86. Ocean's Eleven
87. What Women Want
88. The Perfect Storm
89. Liar Liar

95. Superman Returns
96. Pretty Woman
97. Tootsie
(98. Top Gun - not seen in its entirety)
99. There's Something About Mary
100. Ice Age

Uh-oh. I've only seen 32% of the second fifty, which brings my percentage for the top 100 to 48%. Tsk, tsk - shame on me. Shall we continue? . . . Oh, let's not. I can already see that I've seen less than 20% of the next 100. Clearly I don't belong in this social group . . .

Heh. Funny how perceptions differ. I've seen exactly 1/4 of the top 100 (not counting things that I've only seen bits and pieces of while walking thru the room), and that's a surprisingly high percentage for me.

I've probably seen the last 5-10 minutes of about as many as I've seen all or most of the way thru. In many cases, that suits me just fine because the last 5 or 10 minutes is the only part really worth watching!

It seems people prefer Chuck's version of the meme to my original

The original's not much fun when the answer is #1, at least for me . . .

Well, I was only doing a bastardization of the mutation that la_directora and tryslora did. (And tryslora credits you as being who she stole and mutated it from)

And now redneckgaijin has mutated it further (http://redneckgaijin.livejournal.com/101484.html) . . . this one must have a faulty reverse transcriptase enzyme or something; it just mutates all over the place.
