Some years ago, I set myself the task of watching IMDB's Top 250 movies - a good challenge because movies come and go and the list changes. After about a decade, I've nearly watched the Top 100 and have been surprised by some that I've found and enjoyed. Particularly some of the Bollywood and Ghibli movies that I certainly wouldn't have watched without this "challenge".

I'm certainly no film buff though - I like the escapism that a 2-3 hour movie provides.
