Thanks. I just pulled up the movies from the year I was born. There are 8,384 titles from that year. I had no idea this many movies were being made! I thought that there were maybe a hundred movies made in a given year.

I don't think I'll live long enough to see them all. Especially if I have to go to work every day.

I went to the bottom of the main IMDB web page and clicked on 'Search', then 'Advanced Search'.

When I just filtered on the year of my birth I got close to 9,000 movies. But when I filtered on 'Feature Films', movies made in the US and in English, the list was whittled down to 201.

That's still a lot for just one year, but there are a lot of turkeys on that list.

If I had filtered for movies that had a rating over 7 I'm sure I would have a reasonable number of films to watch.

If you don't filter on 'Feature Film' you get hundreds of TV episodes added to your list.

If you leave out the “chick flicks” you may stand a chance!
