Should have fixed most of the issues with the list. All but 1 of the ? movies have been cleaned up and the incorrect movies have been changed. Let me know if you see any other issues.

Useful to have this list of 250, as it’s more manageable than the full TSPDT 1000. Black Narcissus was from 1947 not 1962, as the entry here has it

A couple of things.

You have “Ivan the terrible part two” on this list twice.

For “Imitation of Life” you have listed the 1934 version, is that the right one, or do you need the 1959 version? Just curious.

And I don’t quite understand why you have the ‘?’ versions of many of these movies when the site has the actual versions already listed? This would cause people to have to go through the list and mark off movies that they have already marked off on other lists. For instance, there were about 10 movies that I’ve seen on this list, that are already marked off, and I had to re mark off. Not a big deal, just thought it would make things easier for all.
