OK, I know it has probably been done before, but the recent Book Meme has inspired me to do the same for movies, using the IMDB top 250. Since IMDB tend to list the title in the original language, I’ve listed the English title in brackets where appropriate.

From Ceci n’est pas un blog. and via Ottermatic here’s a book meme about what you have read.

You bold what you’ve read, italicize what you’ve started but can’t finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. (And I guess italicize and strike through what you started and dropped because you couldn’t stand it?)
