Not sure the source though.

However here Jacob can tell us his opinion on the films as he widens his cinematic horizons.

Oh and I suppose the list can be added to as we go along.

[mrbasehart]

That's the top 250 rated movies on the imdb.

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

do rifftraxes of these films count?

[mrbasehart]

No, because watching a film with a Rifftrax is a completely different experience to watching it without.

[esoobaC .T bocaJ]

alright, I'll be back after watching The Godfather, wait should I start at #1 or#250?

[mrbasehart]

That we can be flexible on.  Watch 'em in any order you like!

[Tripe]

Which ones have you seen? I'll remove them and we'll gradually chip away at the list.

[mrbasehart]

Just to come clean, I haven't seen that entire list either....  I've seen 233 of them.
