What happened to “in the mood for love”? The #1 movie on the list?

Where’s Juno?


All done — 37 weeks ago

The January 2008 update is complete. Overall, it moved me 2 closer to completion.


Done to 150 — 37 weeks ago

I think I might just keep going, this is really quick when all the new movies have already been added. I’m just reordering.


I'm working on 100-150 right now. — 37 weeks ago

Just saw someone else was on here at the same time.


51-100 done — 37 weeks ago

Fallen Angels — 39 weeks ago

Shouldn’t be on the list (it’s at 251)—it was made in 1995 and is not on the original list. I tried to delete it but got an error in return.

I also added a companion list of movies that would have been included if they had not been made before 2000.
