I've made a conscious effort to ensure that the IMDb Top 250 should not become the be all and end all to my travels through cinematic history and instead a starting point. Accordingly I've tried to catch up with films starring key actors or directed by key directors.
This list shows just how much I'm catching up. It shows how many films by a particular actor or director I'd seen before starting this project, and how many I've seen now.
