This started as a personal project on 01/01/13. I’d always wanted to set myself the goal of watching all of the IMDB Top 250 movies. As of 01/01/13, I’d already watched 150 of them. My plan is to watch & review the remaining 100. But what about the 150 I’d already seen? Well, I eventually decided to invite guest bloggers to review those. And I’ve had a great response!
Below is the full IMDB Top 250 list as it was on 01/01/13 (I’ve now added some new additions as of 01/01/16 to the bottom of the list). All that have been reviewed will include a link to the review (they’ve been reviewed by me unless they say Guest Blogger). The 150 I’d already seen are in bold. I’ll bold & put stars next to the remaining 100 as I watch them.
If anyone would still like to join in & do a guest review for this, leave me a comment below.

**82. The Passion Of Joan Of Arc – watched 15/4/23 – Rating: 8/10 (2023 new addition) (mentioning this one as it’s unusual for such an old film to now appear in the Top 250 – is usually only recent films that get added)
This is an interesting list. After inspecting it, I found that I have not seen 86 of the movies on the list. Most of the ones that I haven’t seen are the foreign films. It’s a fun movie watching goal that you have come up with. Good luck watching all of them.
Thanks! I doubt I’ll finish them in 2013 – I have a feeling it’ll be my 2014 goal as well. 😉 You’re doing well – you’ve seen more than I have!
great idea. I also have seen most of them. only 62 by my count. Majority of them are also foreign language, but there are a few movies I just haven’t had the drive to see yet even though, I have them. For instance, I have never seen Gone with the Wind (1939), but bought the DVD close to 10 years ago. I hope to find 3 hrs one of these days to watch The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966)
Good luck
Thanks. 🙂 Haha – There are several on this list that I’ve also had on DVD for YEARS. So many of the movies in the top 250 are just sooo long. Three hours or more is a big commitment. 😉 I’ve had Lawrence Of Arabia for years – I just never seem to quite have almost four hours free to watch it!
“Das Boot” is an absolute must-see! Choose the uncut version, 293 minutes of glorious filmmaking. 🙂
By the end, I felt like one of the sweaty soldiers. lol
293 minutes?! Ugh. Lol – That’s the thing stopping me on some of the top 250 – they’re so long! I’m pretty sure all the war movies and westerns will be the last ones I watch. 😉

Great idea for a post. I’ve seen 76 of the first 100 but it goes down a bit in the next 150. So great to know there are so many more great films to watch 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad my Top 250 thing is getting some attention. 🙂 Not that many people comment on it but I’m having a lot of fun (slowly) working my way through these great films.
I look forward to reading your other posts 🙂

Very cool I am going to start reading your back posts on those…when I read the list I get sentimental thinking of some these great movies. Very cool idea!
Excellent! I love discussing these classics with people. I’d always wanted to force myself to watch them all and it became a more real thing after I started blogging & doing it that way. It’s been sooo worth it as I’ve seen some great films in the past year! I’m especially glad it finally got me watching Charlie Chaplin. : )

If you want a word version, just email me and I’ll send it. cbruchman@yahoo.com
Thanks for letting me participate. 🙂 Cindy
Thanks! I’ll double check the schedule but think it’ll post mid-September. Will let you know! : )
🙂
Oh – and, yes – in Word would be great! Can you email it to tableninemutant at hotmail dot com? : )
Sure thing 🙂
Has Goodfellas been taken? If not, I want it. When do you need the review?
And where do I send it?
Okay, my review of Goodfellas is written. Where do you want me to send it to?
Hey again. Ive just about finished my review of the LOTR trilogy. When its done how do you want me to send it over?
Oh cool – thanks! You can email it to tableninemutant at hotmail dot com 🙂
MUTEY!!!!!! You will be delighted to know that I finally got to sit down tonight and watch David Lynch’s The Elephant Man. 😀 😀 😀 I will be typing up something about it in the next day or so, so if you would’t mind leaving me a good email address that I can send the review to, I’ll have that up for you.
I feel good about this. This has only been a goal of mine for the past, oh. . . I don’t know. . . . 150 days! Hahah. Thanks for being so patient. The movie was incredible, by the way. Expect a glowing review. 😉
Tom the Bomb!!!!!!!!! Lol. Got your email! I’m so glad I pretty much stubbornly forced you to watch this one. I wasn’t going to give up! Wanted you to see how good it was. 😉 So glad you liked it! 🙂
Nah, no stubborn forcing going on. It was something I had wanted to see for a long time for several reasons. 1) the character of John Merrick (who is actually Joseph Merrick in reality), 2) another Anthony Hopkins performance and 3) it would be my first David Lynch movie. So i was going to see it no matter what. The question was just going to be, ‘when?’ haha. At long last!!! And yes, it is excellent. Absolutely excellent.
Oh, wow! You’ve not seen another David Lynch movie?!? Well, The Elephant Man is very unlike his other stuff. That dude is WEIRD!
Hey. I finally wrote down my review for Mystic River, sorry for leaving it so late 🙂 and I wanted to send it to you, would you mind giving me your e-mail address?
Thanks again! Lol – just catching up on comments now… 🙂
No worries 😀 I just wanted to let you know that I had it done before the deadline
Great idea! I always look at this list when trying to pick a movie. I hope to watch Unforgiven soon….any thoughts?
Thanks! : ) It’s been fun but I’ve not been great about watching any from this list lately. Unforgiven is one of the movies I managed to watch & review (here: https://table9mutant.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/unforgiven-1992-imdb-top-250-review/ ) – It was okay but I didn’t love it. I’m not a big Western fan anyway (didn’t watch any before starting this challenge) but after watching Leone’s spaghetti Westerns that are in the Top 250, I have to say I far prefer those.
Hey, I finally managed to write The Graduate if you still have use for it but I can’t find your email anywhere. 🙂
Oh, cool! Sorry – I’m way behind on comments. My email address is tableninemutant at hotmail dot com. Thank you! : )
