49 is not bad. Almost half-way. Anybody think they can beat me? Any arguments about what should or should not be on this list?

My dad claims to have watched 65. I've tested him, and this seems accurate. However, I would argue that he has not seen many movies from before his birth, whereas I have. He needs to catch up on his 50s, 40s, and 30s.

I seem to have real challenger. 80 from N.B. from the Zoo. My 49 is turning out to be unimpressive indeed. :-(
