Well, I watched Equilibrium on DVD about a week ago. I'm still trying to sort out in my brain whether I like it or not. I think the answer is a qualified yes. The movie doesn't really add anything to the ground that was already covered by stuff like Farenheit 451, but it was still an interesting enough 1hr45min. But I don't think it was good enough to deserve a spot on this list.

Strange to see Emily Watson in a sci fi movie though.

24 nearly halfway, that's not too bad... and I've seen bits of some of the others which would probably add up to another 10 if mashed together.
