That's 175 titles strung together.  The <> bracketed words are the
ones which are the last of one title and the first of another. Lot's
of two-word titles show up in this chain.

By the way, a word about IMDB and data scraping. Quite a few years
ago, as an exercise in learning Java, I decided to write a program
which would look for "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" links between actors
in the IMDB.  This was a spare moment project at work.  After a few
days, I got an e-mail from IMDB saying that they had detected my
'robot' and had disabled access to IMDB from my ip address, which to
them was the proxy server for the company (Object Technology
International).  So OTI didn't have access to IMDB for a few days
while they considered my contrite reply and promise to cease and
desist.
