Widescreen, this isn't a bad idea, but having a title and how much I value it is way different.

I value my 2001 Blu-ray way more than a Mission Impossible title, tho I own both.

You would only get the TOP 25 owned titles and not the favourite 25

True,, but the second entry tin this thread ( yours),, you say 'Top'  instead of Favourite,, 
and this List should be TOP List of 25 ..  as everyone has a favourite list..,
(some would even include American Pie as their favourite movie of all time... )   
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Actually going through the lists I do not think I have seen American Pie once.

Has anyone looked back at their lists from earlier in the year? Only four-ish months on, and I think mine has changed. Without overthinking it, I suspect H.G. Wells' The Time Machine (1960) and Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925), both of which I've watched for the first time in that period, may have what it takes to out some titles from my earlier list. I also think that The City of Lost Children may have dropped a rank or two. I don't know if I was just in an odd mood or what was happening, but it wasn't as magical the other week when I watched it.

I'm just now wondering if I should make a concerted effort to watch through my Top 25 list. I think it would make for quite interesting viewing, and probably some personal discovery (and alterations to the list for next time )

So, do we have the option to amend our lists for things we have watched since making them?  I know mine has changed since then.

I think for the purposes of the Invelos Top 25 it wouldn't be fair (to Lord Of The Sith), I was just meaning in my head, but hey, nobody's gonna stop you. Personally I'd do it in a separate post and head it with a note saying it's not for inclusion. I think it'd be nice to make the Top 25 an annual event. That way each year there's a fixed list from each person, rather than a forever plastic list that only shows up if pinned. I am curious what your changes are (and am off to peruse your original list).

I think you may have typoed the year there.

Yup, that's definitely a typo!
