If they are looking for films I've seen start to finish, I'm at 21. If you add films that I've seen substantial parts of at one time or another but not actually watched beginning to end in one sitting, the total goes up to 39. Yes, it's shocking I know, but I have been known to be channel flipping, stop on a movie in progress, watch 30 or 60 minutes, and then turn off the TV to go do something else. Or pick two or three channels (one of which may have had a movie on the above list) and do channel surfing between them for a period of a few hours, esp when commercials hit. There are times I have a rather short attention span...

But I also highly recommend both The Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby as films to watch. They are two of my all time favorite films.
