Using some python and a scraped list I can now mark which movies we’ve seen, or have to see.
(Own the movie or have it seen streamed in the cinema)

I just have to place a X after the title in the first column.
Run the python script, and presto

First column, the list we started with.
Second column, mark the movie.
3rd until the end .. years 2000-2023

Blue – seen
Light Blue – seen but was not in original list (so a new movie)
Green – have this movie, but still have to watch it
Light Green – Have this movie but it’s not in the original list
Orange – New in that year (could be an oldie reemerging in the top 250)

Now the python script, maybe it useful for you.
