IMDB Top 250 Challenge Update: Only 50 Left To Go

Happy New Year, everyone! 🙂 I figured it was time to have a look at how well I’m doing on my IMDB Top 250 Challenge.

I started this project on the 1st of January 2013 having already seen 150 of the 250 movies in the Top 250 IMDb list at that time. My goal was to watch the remaining 100. I’ve been taking my time but, five years later, I’ve managed to watch 50. Only 50 left to go!

I’ve enjoyed this project & it’s been worth doing as it has “forced” me to finally watch some true classics. So I figured I’d do a list of the 50 that I’ve watched.

So here are My IMDB Top 250 Project Movies Watched So Far (Ranked From Least Favorite To Very Favorite): (and I rated them all, too! What a loser…)
