QotD: Top 100 Movies

Posted by Mark | Filed under QotD, Quizzes

I was feel­ing bored at work (big sur­prise) and was doing a quick read through some blogs I like when I ran across this arti­cle over at Erik J. Barzeski’s blog read­ing How many of the 100 high­est gross­ing movies of all time have you seen?

So I counted them up and found to my sur­prise that I’ve actu­ally seen 86 out of the top 100. The ones I’ve missed or skipped¹ are in bold.
