I'm the creator of the OP's image, originally posted on Imgur: https://imgur.com/gallery/hkNUbYR. I've seen it getting reposted in various places online and it makes me smile to see all the positive reactions. I've generally resisted the urge to comment on these posts, because it's the internet and stuff getting endlessly reposted is how we roll. On this occasion I decided to reply for two reasons.
The first reason is that it's currently one of the top posts on r/All and getting a crapload of attention, so if there was ever going to be a time to speak up, it would be now. The second is that, while it doesn't bother me when a poster doesn't credit me (I didn't put my name on the list to begin with), in this case the bottom of the image has been cropped to remove the original source of the list. That's something that really rubs me the wrong way. Not posting the source is one thing (especially considering that after a bunch of repost it's likely that the poster doesn't even know the source), but cutting out part of the image to deliberately hide the source is just sad. I hope I can at least somewhat set the record straight here.
At the risk that this just gets buried under the hundreds of other comments, at least I'm happy that people are finding the list useful.
[EDIT]
Well.
I posted this late last night expecting it to get lost at the bottom of the comment pile. Obviously, I was wrong. I'm afraid I'm not going to take the time to reply to everyone personally, so let's just quickly go over the key points here:
First of all, thank you all very much for the awards and especially the kind comments, recommendations, corrections and suggestions. You've all made my day. I'm afraid there's no plaintext/PDF/spreadsheet version of this list. I just hammered it all into Photoshop and saved it as PNG, because I'm a big dummy. This is absolutely something I'll keep in mind for the next version of the list. Because yes, there will be a "next version." It's become more than clear that there are a lot of people who would be interested in an updated version. Adding missing movies, improving the categories, fixing mistakes (yes, I absolutely agree that "The" should have been ignored for alphabetization), etc. are all things that should be done. There are some things that I'll have to think long and hard about on how to handle them exactly, but I'll get to it. It won't be today or tomorrow, but the response to this post has definitely bumped up that task close to the top of my TODO list.

Starting today I vow to make it through this list

Oh look, it's basically every movie I've ever really enjoyed. I'm saving this for the ones I haven't seen....
Also, you might as well just relabel 'Mystery' as 'David Lynch.'
