Unless I miscounted, I've seen 59 of the top 100.
Posted 05 Jul 2004 at 7:38pm #
not seen yet: harry potter(s), spider man(s), shrek(s), lion king (ugh), grinch, mrs. doubtfire, aladdin, mummy returns, beautiful mind, chicago
I think about to rent the dvd's of spider man and harry potter until it's getting colder and darker - these are it-is-winter-thats-why-I'm-sitting-in-front-of-the-tv-so-comfortable-movies. I guess at least.
Posted 05 Jul 2004 at 8:03pm #
99 out of 100. I have not seen Planet of the Apes. Well, not that version anyway... No, wait. I didn't see the old one either...

100 Top Grossing Movies
Erik asks "How many of the 100 highest grossing movies of all time have you seen?" I've seen this in a few blogs, and this was a fun one to answer. Going through the list brought back so many memories....

Top Grossing Movies
I haven't seen almost 25% of the top grossing movies. That's not too bad is it? Props to Erik for the post. 1. Titanic (1997) – $600,779,824 2. Star Wars (1977) – $460,935,665 3. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) – $434,949,459...
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 12:22am #
I've seen 79 of them. Most of the twenty one movies I haven't seen have come out in the last couple years and seemed rather unappealing to me (Harry Potter, The Passion, The Mummy, Bruce Almighty, etc.)
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 12:28am #
The Top 117 grossing movies adjusted for inflation has a broader list of movies.
I haven't seen as many of the blockbusters as I expected. I'm missing 25 from the above and 16 on the adjusted list.
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 1:23am #
Missed 23 on the list. I'd like to say that I prefer film to blockbusters/movies, but obviously having seen the majority of these flicks, I violate that totally.
Maybe it's just that film is a rarity with so little room for independent films on big screens (at least where I live).
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 1:25am #
93. What's crazy is that with the exception of X-Men 2, I have not seen the exact same ones as you. I've seen X-Men 2 but not Tootsie.
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 2:21am #
According to my calculations, I have seen 66 of them.
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 8:56am #

100 Top-Grossing Movies
As seen at NSLog();. While most people are bolding the ones they’ve seen, I’ve seen a great number of these, so like Erik, I’m going to bold the ones I haven’t seen. Some of these surprised me — The Waterboy,...

Wow! Contrary to what I believed, I've seen 97 of them. Passion of Christ, Bruce Almighty and Catch Me If You Can are the only ones I haven't seen yet.
What strikes me as strange is that you haven't seen any of the most rerun classics like Gone with the Wind and Sound of Music.
C'mon! It's a well known fact that there is a weird cosmic planet alignment that influences TV folks to air one of those classics every time you are sick in bed 😉
Posted 06 Jul 2004 at 11:46am #
Haven't seen 12 of them. 1 (HP:Azkaban) we'll be buying on DVD. Most of the rest I'd see if they came on a movie channel, but a few I won't see (That version of Planet of the Apes, Hannibal), and some (The Passion of the Christ, Ghost) I doubt I'll watch because there will probably always be something else on I'd rather see.

I havent seen 20 out of those 80. Some came before I was born (Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music), others didnt appeal to me (Tarzan, Jurassic Park III), some I missed in the movies and havent rented yet (Elf, Grinch), and some I didn't even know existed (Rainman).
