A score of 44 <\/b>is not going to get me any prizes, I fear.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen bits and pieces of several of the others, of course, and I already know there are quite a few of the above that I’d love to watch some time (certainly none of the one I have watched was a dud).<\/p>\n

I have no idea of the origin of the list, though.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: Make that 45<\/b>. And I’ve italicized <\/i>the unwatched ones on the list I’d like to see most (though there are others there I know are also quite worthy).<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: Make that 47<\/b>, with translated titles (thanks, Jack).<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/u>: Okay, let’s do all these other mods suggested by Solonor<\/a>, including “#” for “least favorites” (movies I won’t go out of my way to rewatch) and underlines<\/u> for ones owned. I think I’ll decline on asterisking stuff.<\/p>\n
