I just updated my list and uploaded the list here. I also added a permanent link in the “links” section on the side of this page.
More than 150 titles added, among them a few really good ones. I’ve decided to put the list somewhere fixed. I don’t know why I posted it to the blog like idiots in the first place. My movie collection contains more than 1150 titles and its size is close to 900GiB!
Oh! Here’s the link.

I do get asked sometimes to recommend movies to people. That’s a really hard thing to do. Of course, I can recommend many films off the top of my head, but would they like them is entirely another matter. This list here is in the former spirit. I’ve considered several factors in recommending these specific [...]

Here’s another update. No fantastic film in this addition, although I have to say that I have acquired(!) the entire eigth season of the X-Files.
Here’s the list with a typo fixed. Thanks to the one who mentioned it.

This is it. And I’ve not added a few films that I have with less-than-DVD quality, like PotC:DMC or Crank.

This is my movie list. I don’t think I’ll add to it in the coming month.
As I have said before, I have the whole “Friends” TV show, and the whole “Robotech” animation series. Plus a few dozen other films which are either on WORM media, or have sub-par quality.
Here it is:
