For a while now I’ve been compiling a list of films I know I have seen start to finish at some point in my life. Every week or so I think of some “duh, obvious” movie I forgot to include. In other cases, there are films I’ve seen only on TV and sometimes edited, or missed bits, so I haven’t included those. Here are the 892 films on this work-in-progress list as of today. For some films I’ve put their release year next to the title. You may recognize a lot. Some will probably have you going “huh?”
