I've been keeping track for maybe for about eight or nine years. Up to recently I drew rings around them in a book - Halliwell's Film Video & DVD Guide - with over 23,000 entries. But they stopped updating this book every year and there was always ones I watched that were too new to be in it. Then I found out about IMDB's 'my movies' feature.
Effectively articulating my motivation for doing so is difficult. I think it has to do with being urgently advised by a lecturer in the first week at university: watch as many films as possible. Doesn't matter if they're good, bad, new, old, Hollywood, foreign, silent or sound: just consume as much as the hours and the days will allow. Otherwise you don't know shit and that will be apparent in what you write.
I think that just as one can never read too many books one can never watch too many movies.

IMDB has a movie tracker feature?

Yes. Make an account at IMDB then click 'movies' then 'my movies'.
