Re:
I know, I know, everyone hates necroposting... but a year on, I'm intrigued to see if the answers have changed at all.

18. Or sixteen and four halves....
Top 10: 8 (No idea why I've still not got around to watching Schindler's List...)
Top 25: 19
Top 50: 35
Top 100: 59
Top 200: 97
Top 250: 111
That's based on the current 250 list - but weirdly, I get the same total on Furie's spreadsheet. And yeah, whilst lovefilm have been doing exceptionally well out of my free nights over the last year, there've been a few surprises along the way - Chinatown and Rear Window both get honourable mentions in terms of making me reconsider my attitude towards anything 'old', as both kept my attention a lot better than many more recent things, and the humour had aged surprisingly well as well.
Also, if anyone still wants the Empire 500 in spreadsheet format, I found one (with one or two mistakes, be warned)
here! I had 140 of those at last count
There's some truly obscure choices towards the bottom of that list - many of which are worth a look, though the number of remakes/reboots etc. in there was annoying, 'new' Star Wars really does need to go away.
