I ended up having watched 338 of the 585 titles. (Around 58%)
As I noted early in this thread, I greatly appreciated the non-canonical nature of the master list and will continue using it as a guide over the coming months and years (not least as it'll help if/when all this rolls around again years from now).
While it's not greatly reflected in my final 50, I nevertheless loved the studio films of the 1930s it introduced me to for the first time.

The likes of:
I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
Gold Diggers of 1933
My Man Godfrey
A Day in the Country
Holiday
Only Angels Have Wings
The Roaring Twenties

The films I genuinely dislike on the list are are only a couple:

La Ciénaga (which I found really self-satisfied)
The Tribe (which is just repulsive)
Also, The Lives of Others is as dull as hell.
And while 'dislike' is far too strong a word, the charm of Chaplin films still alludes me.

climactic dictionary scene ... which was amusing in a droll way.
My list of films I haven't watched is very extensive and a source of great shame. Some (those in bold) remain in my kevyip unwatched for no good reason than I ran out of time.

But overall, I'm very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this fun process.
But I agree that Vertical Features Remake is the best!), Memento and The Immigrant. I think I actually replaced them with five just as good titles, so I'm not sad (or particularly surprised!) that they didn't make it through.
