This is an update to the post I made 7 months ago called The IMDb top movies that I haven’t watched.

I’ve rated 1,577 movies on IMDb as of this post. This is 122 more ratings since my first post exactly 7 months ago. This does not mean that I’ve watched this many. There are many movies that I found where I’d seen the movie but hadn’t rated them.

Before I go through the top 250 lists and check my progress, I want to mention some of the movies that I really enjoyed. Two titles were added to my favorite movies, To Kill a Mockingbird and It’s a Wonderful Life. To Kill a Mockingbird was a great book, and I expected the movie to not be as good, and be a letdown compared to the book, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well done it was. It’s a Wonderful Life, I was going in expecting it to be a cheesy Christmas movie, mostly from the shots that I’ve always seen of James Stewart’s character holding one of his children. Well, I absolutely loved this movie.

Casablanca was better than I expected, Citizen Kane was a little bit less than I expected, even though Orson Welles was great. Seven Samurai was absolutely epic, and although it was very long, I enjoyed it very much. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was a fun western. 12 Angry Men was interesting (and very sweaty).

Now let’s check the lists.

For 2016, I’ve watched 168/250 titles. Of course, this list is still fluctuating. In my next update, I’ll have a permanent 2016 list to use as a reference.

I’ve completed 2,997 titles out of the 5,000 titles on the the top 250 which is 59%.
I’ve completed 1,681 titles out of the 2,000 top 100, which is 84%.

So my progress is at 59%/84%. I really knocked out of a lot of the top 100 titles, since 7 months ago, these numbers were 55%/46%.

Lots of great titles still to watch. I expect to have the top 100 list to be completely cleared for a few years, the next time that I update. Adding this to my calendar for a reminder in 6 months.
