This is going to sound crazy but this is just a sample of my crazy OCD. Oh, and by the way, I spent over 5 hours on this list. Notice how short the list is, but in my head, this list is perfectly balanced according to the movie title. I honestly could not stop myself until it felt perfectly balanced.How I made this list? I went to Yahoo Movies and did a search for a random movie using the word "great". I selected the first movie that came up, and then clicked the first "Similar Movie". I then sorted them by length and selected the first title because I like movies over 86 minutes. If a movie is under 86 minutes I get almost physically ill, but will force myself to watch it. I also force myself to watch a movie under 86 minutes at least once a month. During that movie I will not touch anything and I will usually feel ill before the first half is over.
After I sort by length I go to the 100th movie and from the bottom I go to each movie and select the 3 most similiar movie recommended by Yahoo Users. I then take the 100 movies that were the 3rd most similiar and select every other movie, I completly delete any doubles.
Once I had the 39 movie out of the 100 the real work began. I put all of the titles below in a spreadsheet and added up the value of each letter 1-26 and put the totals next to the movie title. I sorted each title based on the number value of the title and divided it by the one below it. After that I sort them by visual appeal of the title, if the number felt balanced against the movie title I would move it up 1 slot. If it felt uneven I moved it down. This process took about 5 hours, but after I finished it I honestly felt joy and a major sense of accomplishment.
I know it seems stupid but this list is probably the most balanced random movie list in exsistence.
Anyways here is the list, it is balanced perfectly using the title names and length of the movie not including credits.

I love to make lists that feel perfectly balanced mentally, emotionally and physically. If I lay a list out, I expect it to feel smooth and flowing.
