Alle Gute zum Burzeltag!

If we want to know more about a movies popularity counting tickets would indeed make more sense.

Coincidentally:

David Lynch's surreal noir Mulholland Dr. is heavily influenced by Persona; including, but not limited to, an actress character and similar questions concerning identity, as well as a visual nod to Persona's famous merging of women's faces.

Really becoming a fan of Ingmar Bergman. That scene (when the light on the womens face gets slowly darker) to me was one of the most magical moments in a movie ever. It's hypnotizing. If you have a chance get the movie and watch it on a big TV screen. Youtube doesn't do it justice. It's the most visualy appealing black&white movie that i have seen.

Yea the Psycho intro is great. The theme song is also extremely good.

Saw that movie recently. So awesome. Made it into my favourite movie list instantly. 10/10

Hey and welcome! Don't let EOT scare you away!

Yup, and the name of the character from Stargate Atlantis?John Shepard

Actualy the name is meant to honor Alan Shepard (first american in space and 5th man on the moon).

I should probably try to compile a list on imdb one day because they really have everything. I have no idea where to begin tho. I rated movies there for a while but only kept track of the ones i rated 8 or higher. I tracked down nearly 500 movies on the website that i posted in the OP but thats only the ones that are listed in top lists somewhere. So in reality i must have seen a lot more. Not sure if i can find the motivation to track them all down on imdb.

For now i have other "projects" running for my movie addiction. I try to watch every single Clint Eastwood movie (35 seen so far). Thats project one. Project two is to widen my horizon by watching more classic movies. I watch a lot from the 50's to 70's right now and it's great.

I installed the nameless mod a while ago but there was some problem that prevented me from playing. Don't remember exactly what it was.

That Cube mod for Fallout 3 looks interesting. I think about getting the PC version just for that. If i find it for 5 Euro or so somewhere.

You can import your list from imdb! The difference is that this website features all important movie top lists of the english speaking hemisphere (not just imdb) and automatically compares your watched movies with them. It's a great tool if you want to see some stats and to get more ideas for movies to watch. All the movies are also linked to their imdb profile. Don't see it as competition to imdb, it's a great extension of it.

edit:

This is how my imdb stats look like for example.

I found this yesterday:

It allows you to keep track of the movies that you have seen. Just click any movies on the many lists that you have seen and the website automaticaly compares your own selection with all the other lists (for example imdb top 250, They Shoot Pictures 1000 etc.).

It's a great way to not just remember what you have seen but also to find many gems of interesting movies to watch.

The only disadvantage i found is that most lists have a heavy Hollywood bias. There are a few that have lots of foreign movies but it's mostly the exceptionally great ones or the artsy ones. Hard to find good european comedy movies like the Bud Spencer, Louis de Funes or Astrid Lindgren movies for example.

If you register post your user names here so we can share our lists. Mine is Flowneppets.

Glad everything works out so well. Have you bought your own SUV yet?
