"I finally hit 300 on the TSPDT list!!!"


  

          

For those of you who don't know,
They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? is a great website that compiles creditable lists of great pictures.
Basically, they find lists from all over the world and compile them to make a master list of the 1000 best/most acclaimed pictures of all time.
They explain it themselves here:
http://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_rankingorder.htm
To view the full list, go here:
http://www.theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_rankingorder.htm

After a long time of struggling (documented in my previous posts on the list, also found in the annals of PTP) I have finally seen 300 movies on the list. It might seem like a small number, until you actually have a look at the list. It's a monster.
Anyways,
to celebrate, here is the list of the 300 I have seen (forgive the pidgin english where applicable).
Feel free to discuss any of them with me or to ask me any questions about the movies I've seen.
I will also use this post to restart writing my short ruminations on any new list movies I see, starting probably this weekend.
