Holy crap! If these 5,000 are all originals; then he should invest about a year consolidating tracks on a burner!

I've seen maybe 1,000 films. However, I do a little reviewing on the side so some movies get multiple viewings. I'm sure if I applied the same amount of time to my studies as I do to watching movies, I'd have a cure for Alzheimer's by now...

How many movies have you seen in your life? More then some, less then others. Being unemployed in 1980 and having nothing better to do, I sat down and calculated I had seen somewhere between 1200 and 1500 moives uo to that time. On the average of some three donzen if not more, movies each year, since then, the total number of movies I have, is somewhere between 2028 and 2328.

I guess this thread could lead to another thread titled "How many GOOD movies have you seen in your life."

In reviewing this thread, I believe that Evil Matt is the only one who has watched the 9 essential movies in film history.  If you watch these 9, you will see everything you need to see.  There is no benefit to watching any other movies.

Bless you, Matt.

Well, I can't say I agree with those movie picks of Evil Matt's, but I love his quote "Everything's funnier with monkeys." Cracks me up every time.

I should clarify, it's not like I watched those movies because I wanted to.  Those 9 were the only films available to me that weren't expressionist Swedish Pilates instruction films.  But I'm glad people like my quote.

And bless all of you, too.

I have too many, and have seen too few of them is all I will say
