I have seen 20. I'm pretty surprised. I usually only see half of "list" movies.
Does io9 have some kind of list biweekly or something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
21. Have yet to see:
- Primer
- Moon
- District 9
- Forbidden Planet
Don't plan on seeing Forbidden Planet. Roll my eyes at Eternal Sunshine. Don't remember Tron.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They do a lot of lists. Currently they're doing a series of "Introduction to SciFi" posts, and this is part of that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Forbidden Planet is awesome, though! MONSTERS FROM THE ID!

That story about what Greek statues really looked like is excellent.

10! ...there are some gaping holes in my movie-watching career.

Yeah, Forbidden Planet is very important in the history of SciFi films, but it's rather dated.
It's actually one of the few (only?) big-budget SciFi films of the '50s, so it's interesting to see what they could accomplish back then when not on a tight budget.

19 +/- 2
The first four, I'm not sure if I've seen all the way through or just seen clips of so many times that it seems like I've seen them. I may have tried to watch some of them and fallen asleep, not sure how to count that either. Definitely haven't seen Moon, Primer, Inception, or Ghost in the Shell.
