I've seen the same amount of films as you in both the EW cult list and the Empire's 50 Greatest Independenat Films list. Scary.

That is scary, I'm on a quest, how about you?

I'm aiming to complete Emerson's 102 Movies list first, then I'll probably move on to one of the indie lists. There aren't enough free hours to catch up to everything I want, I'm afraid!
