I've got it down to 261.  In alphabetical order:

Don't you already have your top 150 done?

That was a handy reminder for a few titles I needed to revisit.

That was for last year's poll.

Every time I work on my list it gets longer instead of shorter. I think I'm doing something wrong.

Start by cutting the ones in colour. That should shorten the list a little bit.

That's the spirit. Now make sure that at least 50% of your list is not American.

Yeah, I realized that just ranking my list chronologically got me what I wanted.

I had my list made up, for the most part.  I told my wife just yesterday, "I think I've got it done."  And THEN Wendy and Lucy comes along and MESSES IT ALL UP!  Even my top 20!  I still have two or three more contenders to see this week before I submit my list.  I THINK I've got it...
