(Note that the BBC’s own list of the top 100 books as voted for by the British public are very different to what you see below)

Abandoned cinema

Originally uploaded by andre.govia

Despite describing myself as a film geek, I haven’t actually seen that many films. At least, recently. But let’s see how many I have seen…

Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, and see how many you’ve seen…
