Inspired by the 1001 Things To Do in 1001 Days project, I've decided to see all the movies on the
IMDb top 250 list. I took all the movies from the list January 7th, 2005, since the list changes all the time
(to a certain degree). I had seen 51 movies (wow, that's not many.. I would've thought I had seen more)
before I started the project.
Movies seen before project started: 52
Movies owned before project started: 31
Movies owned: 49
Movies seen: 72
Movies left: 178
Movies with Strike are the movies I've seen.
Movies in Italic are the movies I own.
