World's biggest film buff

Gwilyn Hughes has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's biggest film buff. He's watched a staggering 28,075 films and already seen another 213 more since being crowned with the title.

His first cinema trip was at 4 years old to see Popeye and he now aims to watch 14 new films a week - mostly on tv.

Where does he find the time to watch them all?!

How was that calculated too??? I have watched so many movies aswell but couldn't put a number on it    
Catnapper

Could be he made a note of every one he's seen Luc?

Yeah it does sound good Andy but how much time must he have used up though?!!

Out of all the films he's seen his favourite one is Lawrence of Arabia!

He could have just wrote down a load of films from a book ...I have loads of film catalogue books that have thousands upon thousands of films...... I could do that    
Catnapper

It's been verified by officials from The Guinness Book of Records so he must have had a record but how do you take his word for it?!
Lucifer_666

Yep its a strange one to verify  
Jipdog

Pah! I have seen every film ever made. Proove me wrong. I have written a list of films with dates next to them so I have conclusive evidence. So there. Oh, in case you were wondering, Care Bears the movie IS the best film ever made.
Catnapper

It's official then....JD's the world's biggest film buff!
Lucifer_666

yeah...the biggest film Bluff.....err...I mean buff

i find this a hard one - as there can be no evidence.....................but, who is sad enough to pretend they have watched that many films when they have'nt
Lucifer_666

Well that is a good point Scorpio but you know I'd say there is a few saddos out there  
Catnapper

I'd dispute the Greatest Film Buff title too. Film buff to me suggests someone who's very knowledgeable about films, but I think he just watches them so he can claim a title in the Guinness Book of Records.
lord vader

how can they verify that unless they sit there with hjim and watch every movie ,
Catnapper

I can understand if he's kept cinema tickets right from when he was little, but there's no way you can verify what he watches on tv unless Guinness officials were sat with him all the time!
Lucifer_666

And how do they know he actually even stayed awake while watching all these films either for all they know he has a bad week a couple of years ago and only half watched a dozen movies  
Jipdog

If he does have cinema tickets, how do you prove they are his and not given to him by other people?
Lucifer_666

Yeah its definitely a difficult one to verify....I'd love to know how the Guinness Book of Records did??
Jipdog

There must be a way to contact them if you want to question a record?
Lucifer_666

 You are so going to now aren't you Jipdog?  

Though I reckon your right and there is definitely a way of finding out...I'd say they'd have a site?
Jipdog

Damn straight!!!  
Lucifer_666

 I believe you now
