Metropolis and Things to Come should have been on there with the other Fritz Lang movies.

Things to Come wasn't a Fritz Lang Movie; William Menzies was the director.  HG Wells told everyone how much he hated Metropolis and told the director and actors to do everything the opposite of Lang in Things to Come.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I've seen 83 of the movies on the list.  :)

I only scored so high because there are, in the words of Grey Fox, "Way too many pre-1980 movies" on the list.

I've seen 14 of them in their entirety (though one of them was dubbed in Russian).  I better not die any time soon.

Only 41.   And I probably ought to see some of those again--I haven't seen some of them in more than 30 years, and even some of the ones made since then, I haven't seen since they first came out (f.e., Blue Velvet--hard to believe that it's been 23 years since it was released).

53.  I'm not much of a fan of a lot of older cinema.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
