There are 300 movies on the list.

I have seen too many.
Ditto. Many these days suck - except for the special effects.
Well I have seen a few good ones and way too many bad ones, and remarkably most of the really bad ones are modern films.
Argh! My fingers got tired of checking at 60, so I quit. The only one of the first 60 I haven’t seen is Kronos. Did they miss The Crawling Eye?
Only real movies seen in a real movie theatre with popcorn and cherry coke only counts.
Everything else doesn`t count.
119, surprised that Road Warrior wasn’t on it.
267! I’m slacking! =)

The Incredible Shrinking Man (NOT about this president) is a very good movie. Shrinking Man is so well written, I could imagine it as a three act play in the round, especially that unwrapping scene. Black Lighting or phospherous material could be used to achieve that effect of void today.
The attack of the 50ft Woman, like another movie about a giant Cyclops, were both SEARED into my mind as a kid, watching on tv after dinner hour. This was way back into my childhood, when I was still debating the possible existence of Elves and Leprecahns with my older sister.
Many.
Back before cable, broadcast channels usually showed sports or movies on weekends and after the evening news. Many of those on the list showed up once or twice.
When I got cable in Tulsa in the mid-1980s, one channel showed either Metropolis or Things to Come for weeks at a time.
“You have watched 181 out of 300 on this list!”
Almost all the rest I have seen parts of them, but not the whole movie.
watched 95....need more lazy time
The Incredible Shrinking Man is great.
I think the 1950s are the Golden Age of science fiction movies.
Don’t recall seeing any Ray Harryhausen films either. That makes the list completely bogus.
I simply suggest that their definition is rather odd....
I also not that their is not a single early Flash Gordon (even though serialized) title listed
And lastly, why if comedies are included and other odd things like the Stepford Wives then why not something like the Wizard of Oz?
I scored 38 out 300. However, if the Thing with Two Heads can be included, why not “They Saved Hitler’s Brain” or “Simone”?
