The MacGuffin--err, i mean, The Movie List

 

Before you lies Big's Big Movie List. It begins with the IMDb top 250 as it exists as of August 8, 2014. I am very aware that the list is ever changing, and movies are added and dropped all the time (Guardians of the Galaxy, for example, is a new entry at #34). I will only be adding to this list as time goes on. The full list is posted here for anyone who is curious. While I intend to tackle those movies in time, I'm sticking with the top 250 for the time being.

 

UPDATE: My original hitherto lost Movie List has been recovered and polished! The final count is just under 650 movies. Rather than just flood this page with entirely too many movies, from the original list, I'll slowly work them in over time. I'd like to keep to the top 250 as a starting

 

FIlms highlighted in green are ones that I had watched prior to undertaking this project. Films highlight in red are films that have been watched, and reviewed. Also, the letters next to certain films correspond to respective streaming services on which the film is available (N=Netflix, H+=HuluPlus, AP=Amazon Prime GO=HBO GO). Should you feel the need, by all means make use of this list.

 

Know as well that I will be adding to the list as time goes on and I start to compose a fuller and more comprehensive list (there are a fair number of b movies that I would like to barrel through!)

Suggestions that are not on the list are always welcome.  Anyway, enjoy!
