Obviously the crossed off ones are movies that I have already seen. As of now it's 26 out of 84.

* I'm about 87% sure I've seen the whole of these films for different classes during High School but I don't know for a fact

I've also added movies 14 (The Avengers), 15 (Iron Man 2), and 16 (A Single Man) to the 360 List.
The Avengers was SO SO SO GOOD! Definitely 5 out of 5 stars.
Iron Man 2 I didn't think was all that great 2 out of 5 stars
A Single Man 4 out of 5 because it was intriguing and yet kind of confusing but I really liked the style of the film.

** Update (March 2014): 46 out of the 86 finished.
