There are movie buffs - and then there is Col Needham.
As founder of Internet Movie Database IMDb, Col says he has watched more than 16,000 films and that doesn't include the ones he's watched more than once. Alien is an early favourite - he once watched it 14 days in a row!
A teenager in the 1980s, Col's hobby coincided with the birth of the internet and what began as a way of recording movie trivia grew into a pioneering online platform that eventually became part of global giant Amazon.
Col Needham joins Mihingarangi on the 35th anniversary of IMDb - one of the most visited websites in the world - to talk about his lifelong love of movies and the life lessons that they hold for all of us.
