TSPDT's Top 1000 - Checklist

[Boz]

I consider this list to be the definitive checklist for film viewing. I've been keeping this list for several months now, adding about 40 films since I made my initial count. I'll post this here just as reference for myself or whomever, but I think it'd be great if others would post their lists as well, so we could cross-reference what our peers have and have not seen. I will also update this with each subsequent addition.
