JFF: How Many Movies Have You Watched?

Impossible to answer

@jeorj_euler​ How interesting.
I usually love lists and stats.
My book list
My movie list
My podcast list
My daily schedule list
Monthly program list
If I'm going to do something, I can't do it without a list ((:

I understand that, and I have lists too, but they're not necessarily complete when it comes to certain kinds of subject matter.

@jeorj_euler  Yes, they are not complete about the subjects, for this I sometimes used the site ld📦 (I say the first and last name of site for private problems) , but it was not satisfactory.

@jeorj_euler​ 

10 Thousand is probably a fair number, especially depending on how old you are.

@blueeyed​ Actually, I have an excel and all the movies and series that I have seen or will watch, franchises, lists that I have to comment or rate, movies and series that need a plot, the section to add images and everything else is in it. .
I think this question was easy for me, so far I have seen 987 movies and 83 series

@blueeyed​ 

If you have rated every film you've ever seen on IMDb, then you can easily find and track them.

@BonaFideBOSS​ If so, what number is it for you?🧐😆

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

Around 3.5k. This also includes walkouts and skipping (If I'm watching at home which I do almost all the time, I'll skip some scenes that I don't like or bore me). I'd rate a movie I've not watched completely.

@BonaFideBOSS​ 

That also counts for me. There are even some movies that make me upset about their dumbness or poor quality, which I quit after half an hour. These are the few movies that got a very low rating down to 1/10 from me. The most upsetting movies are sequels that totally screw it, like e.g. "Ghostrider 2". I did like the first movie, but the second was a dumb catastrophy for me.

@BonaFideBOSS 

There were many movies that I wanted to end sooner or leave half, or not see a part

But I never did that

From the problems of perfectionism😂

Well, there is also the matter of being late to a screening and not having the opportunity of a second screening, but that is more common in regards to turning on the television at a time when a given movie is already airing. I don't remember how many movies for which I've seen the ending but couldn't manage to see the whole thing. Also, some movies have inadvertently gotten the "bits and pieces" treatment from me, and often I fix it, but sometimes a movie just isn't available again.

@jeorj_euler Sometimes it happened that my family is watching a movie and I also watch that movie because I am in a group, but since I did not choose that movie myself, I do not categorize it among the movies I have seen, unless it is really an interesting movie.

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

LOL you sound like my friend who I used to review movies with in the mid 80's. He keeps a spreadsheet of all the movies he has watched too.

I didn't start reviewing movies until 2009 beginning with film school, so I never kept track of how many or what I watched before film school. Now I use IMDB to track those movies. But unfortunately, for some reason a few years ago, IMDB forgot a whole lot of movies I had rated and I'm not certain I've managed to re-rate those.

I don't mind rewatching movies multiple times if I like them or forgot I previously watched them, so not having a spreadsheet works well for me, except those times I've paid to watch a movie, gotten half way through and realized I not only had already watched it, but had decided I didn't like it, at the same place in the movie, the last time I watched it.

@Breumaster​ A very high number, of course I will reach it😏😂😂

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

I had a few years when I saw a few hundret movies a year in the 2000s.

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

I don't know if you knew it, but there is a site where you can find the best movies in Top 250 Lists of the last years. I'm sure you can find some of them on Amazon Prime, sometimes. If you are interested just klick the different Top 250 lists of several years and find your joy. The are 17 years of Top 250 to discover and get badges for your ratings at them. I saw all of them I rated. That's the cause why I don't have all badges, because I have no access to some of the movies, so I didn't rate them. That's up to 5 or six for each later list I didn't complete watching. ;D

The badge site (IMDb)

P.S.: That also shows the spread of the movies in the past times.

@Breumaster​ 😀

Some users make a list of movies they have seen... ??

@Breumaster 

Some movie sites are very interesting and have good lists.

But this is how I choose a movie

If it has more than 150 million sales

If it is a valid award winner

If it is liked by many people

Highly rated by critics or on imdb

Or a specific topic that I like

Whatever it is, it will be included in the list.

For example, I watch the movie A, I examine all the movies of the director and the actors and add the selected ones to the list.

@Breumaster 

Having time to watch movies is very important and unfortunately some people don't have it

Yeah, plus it may be hard for a man to account for movies he saw when he was three or four years old and may not know (or may not remember knowing) the titles thereof. Back before home releases of theatrical movies, people would have to rely upon old ticket stubs that were kept and collected, thus without the option of going through their or their parents' household library of VHS cassettes, laser discs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. As for television airings of movies, there is no easy way to be reminded of movie that was seen just once at an early age, unless the seen more than once or if it was just all too memorable.

@jeorj_euler I generally don't use the movies and series I saw in my childhood(for rate), except for the ones that have remained in my mind for example: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

@ElMaruecan82 

Yes, any type of movie is acceptable👍

@Pencho15​ I also try to rate every movie I see, but I haven't voted for all my movies yet, but I have all the movies, series, list and other details in an Excel file and I always update it.

@HamidrezaMpmm​ I think you'll be able to reach the 1,000 mark before 2024

It has occurred to me that I've probably seen a small few movies that aren't even documented on IMDb, and I've been in just too much of a down mood to even consider bothering to create new IMDb title pages for them.

@jeorj_euler​ I have rarely also seen movies in that case, but so far I have added them to the databse when I do.

@Pencho15​ If I have time, I definitely can, but I'm a little busy😁😄, but I'll try✊

thank you🙏

@jeorj_euler​ Sometimes it's really crazy. A few nights ago, before going to sleep, I remembered this cartoon from my childhood without any reason
But I haven't added it to my list yet

Tabaluga

@Eva27​ It is really difficult to say an exact number, but on average we say a number
Thank you for your comment🙏💐

@HamidrezaMpmm​ Please report Eva27 for spam. They edited a spam link into their post.

According to my IMDb ratings, so far I have watched 6.059 movies.

@GabrielFox​ Fantastic, does that number include TV episodes?

@Pencho15​ 

No, my ratings are only movies.

I don't rate TV series, episodes, music videos or video games.

@GabrielFox​ Then it is impressive!!! Fantástico

Hi, David Marsh. Welcome to the IMDb Community forum! I don't mean to pry, but what's up with your forum signature and your forum bio? Would you be so kind as to tell us what you or your company is about?
