Not too bad....I've seen 37 out of the 50. Gotta love AMC, Fox Movie Channel and Turner Classic movies in the month of February!
I looked up a few titles on imdb.com that sounded interesting, so hopefully I can catch some of them next year.

If you are talking about influential movies I think you have to add
New Jack City and Do the Right Thing.
Others That I would add are:
The Wiz
A Warm December ( a great love story! "Thank you for a warm December" *swoon*)
The Wiz (even with old Diana Ross as Dorothy! I'm a mean ol' Lion!)
For the love of Ivy (great social commentary, I think)
Cornbread, Earl and Me (again, great commentary, featuring a young Larry Fishburne)
I don't know if my adds are really infuential, but I think they are great movies
