For whatever reason, people think that because I watch approximately one (1) movie each day, I have somehow seen every movie ever ("You haven't seen [Random Movie From 1978 Nobody Has Ever Heard Of But Which I Saw As a Teenager]?! It's a classic!!"). Let us look at the facts:
Something like 150 movies are given a nationwide release in America each year. So, just since 1930, that's approximately 12,750 movies. Just feature-length wide-release American movies, now, not includin...g most foreign and independently produced films. And that's only an approximate figure.

If these movies were an average of two hours each, which they probably wouldn't be, that's 25,500 hours' worth of movies just since 1930, not including all the surviving movies released between 1912 and 1929!
If I were to do absolutely nothing but watch wide-release American movies released between 1930 and 2014, for approximately ten hours each day, it would take around 2,550 days. That's 364 weeks, or 7 and a half YEARS of doing nothing but watching these movies, neglecting the fact that some 1,000+ American movies have been widely released in the meantime.
In other words, unless it were my profession to simply watch every movie I possibly could (And by all means, finance such a venture if you wish!), it would take a lifetime to watch "every" movie, and I still would not have technically accomplished that.
So, no, I have not seen The Doberman Gang or Bio-Dome.
