After eight years, I finished my 170 list, and I did it one day ahead of schedule (my 30th birthday)! My final film was DW Griffith’s 1916 epic Intolerance, starring Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, and Robert Harron.

Next up: the remaining 18 Oscar Best Picture winners that I have not yet seen. I’m giving myself until the 2013 Oscars to complete that list.
