Now we just need 739 and 744
Also looking ahead a bit I think, with Grade A autism level investigating, it may be possible to everything to a 1,000 filled in but afterwards things are going to get very tough (if not downright impossible), though they should pick back up and become signifcantly easier around 1800 or so when we start getting films with years in the title. Try searching a random 4 digit number, that doesn't end in a 0, between 1011 and 1700 if you want to see what I mean.

One I didn't know about...
And one I did - not such a wonderful life for James Stewart in this one, but well worth a watch...

Transposed the 786 and thought it was 768 so you got a bit of a later number here.

Missing a couple.
This one would be a real stretch for 793:

Since "The 7.39" has been posted several times and rejected as a miniseries, I'd like to take this opportunity to make a case that at least some miniseries could count as a movie. The reason being that a short TV miniseries (2-3 segments, 4-6 hours or so) has more in common with a made for TV movie than with an episodic TV series.
On a related note, I'd like say to Derrick that I think you're doing a good job of being the de facto arbiter of the thread. Someone needs to check people's work, so to speak, and you seem to have enough interest and time to do that. As far as I'm concerned, you can have the job for as long as you want. I also basically agree with the list of criteria you created. It's based on common sense and the general precedent of this thread. Thank you.
For one thing, watching such a miniseries in sequence feels like watching a long movie. Unlike most TV shows where each episode tends to have it's own story, in a miniseries, each installment picks up exactly where the previous left off. If you edited them all together, it would come across like a long movie.
These kinds of miniseries are likely written and filmed like a movie would be--a single plot, filmed all at once. I think they're only broken up because of the length. While most people wouldn't be interested in watching a 6 hour movie all at once, they would watch it in 2 hour segments over the course of 3 days.
Some longer movies screened in single sessions have an intermission for this reason (It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World comes to mind). Longer movies like The 10 Commandments (over 3 1/2 hours long) when aired on TV are sometimes split up over the course of 2 days.
Wikipedia says this of a miniseries: "A miniseries or mini-series is a television show or series that tells a story in a predetermined, limited number of episodes. Many miniseries can also be referred to, and shown, as a television film." For longer ones with say a dozen episodes or more, this might not be the case, but for one that's, for example, 4 1/2 hours total, it could be. Just something to consider.

It works because there is no number or letter between the 79 and 3.
Unfortunately this would not work as there is nothing separating the last 7 in 177 and the 2.
Unfortunately by their very episodic nature miniseries could never work. The show was broken up into two episodes both being fifty nine minutes, if the filmmakers intended for this to be seen as one continuous movie I do not think runtime, which combined would be less than two hours, was the issue, not that it would matter as we don't count episodic movies. It may seem a bit stringent or harsh to not accept 793. but the problem is that once we make an exception for one we'll have to make an exception for them all, which would take away from what this thread is for. However I feel confident, given what I've seen throughout this thread, that somebody autistic enough will be able to find a film which meets the criteria we're looking for for each number between one and a thousand.
STILL MISSING: 739 744 768 774 775 779 and 781
Given how many numbers have been skipped I think we would be advised to try to find films for them rather than move on to adding new movies.

This thread is in danger of dying, so I'll get us up to 800, with unfortunately many more gaps:
Need 794, 795, 797, and 799.
This is a questionable one for 799, especially with the leading 0:
And here are a few more:

I don't understand the objection. The title is 1-7=72=0. The goal is 772 (not 177), so there is no need to separate the 7 from the 2.

My bad, I was in error in thinking we needed the 177 for some reason, you are right this has 772 completely separate and would work.
Perhaps it would be best for it to die out, given the large amount of gaps we now have it seems unlikely that they will ever be filled in and the last thing we'd want is people just randomly jumping 20-30 at a time without any intentions of filling in the missing, it would defeat the whole purpose of the thread. We've never had gaps this big before and, unlike before, it seems unlikely that somebody can find a short film for each of them.
I think the thread itself will be virtually impossible once we get to the four digits (with the exception of 1800ish-2100ish) when you get films with years in the title. It might not be a bad idea to have the thread locked to prevent it from going to shit at some point.

I've been working independently on trying to close the large number of gaps we have. I believe I may have located three of them, with enough time, variations of . , and / I think it's possible we may eventually find the rest.
779:
Admittedly this one was hard to find any information for and may not have actually been a movie, despite what the Facebook page said. If anyone can come up with more info on this I would appreciate it.
The Next work if you count music videos, which I think you should as short films if it passes one of the seven tests.
781:
797:
Again, I believe since Pantera is recognized by IMDB a music video they upload onto their personal Facebook page would pass test seven of the below (assuming you count music videos as short films):
1. An IMDB page
2. Have a wikipedia page
3. Have been submitted to a film festival
4. Have been screened or shown somewhere in a formal capacity (like inside a theater)
5. Have something uniquely film about it (such as it's own custom soundtrack)
6. Has been released on some format (DVD, VHS, Beta etc)
7. Been created by somebody known as a filmmaker who intended for this to be seen as a film.
With all that said I'm still working on the remaining missing: 739, 744, 768, 774, 775, 794, 795. I believe with enough time and variations of commas, slashes, and colons, and autism, it may be possible to find entries that satisfy each of the remaining seven.

Apologies for the Triple post.
At first we overlooked this because it had 'episode' in the title, however upon further investigation it turns out the entire thing is a short film with the title "Days of Our Nights: Episode 11,739 - Christmas Special" It's a scandenveia short film parody of long running episodic TV soap operas, like Days of our Lives, hence having a giant episode number in the title. The full film can be viewed here.
Edit: After checking IMDB for the first time in weeks it looks like a 775 has just dropped
Additionally I have found 795:
Now that 739, 775, and 795 is found we just need 744,768,774, and 794 I'll continue to work on finding these, once I get a few more I will probably continue the count off White Night's post with the next number in the sequence being 809. The count to 1,000 continues.
Good news! I have found a proper 739. It passes the test of having an IMDB page.

Some have wondered how long we should keep this up for. I propose as a reasonable goal that we declare victory when we reach this one:

I've found all the remaining missing movies:
744:
Using the guidelines we'd been using to determine what is a movie, you can see this would qualify as the videos creator, Happy Goldsmith, who is recognized by IMDB for being a film personality, uploaded it onto his official verified youtube under his name. As such it falls under Number 7:
1. An IMDB page
2. Have a wikipedia page
3. Have been submitted to a film festival
4. Have been screened or shown somewhere in a formal capacity (like inside a theater)
5. Have something uniquely film about it (such as it's own custom soundtrack)
6. Has been released on some format (DVD, VHS, Beta etc)
7. Been created by somebody known as a filmmaker who intended for this to be seen as a film.
768:
As you can see this live preformance was released onto DVD (Number 6 on the list) based on these two screencaps it's likely theres a DVD which includes the shows date in the title, specifically the 07/68
774:
The Marine Corp is recognized by IMDB for film creation, one of the people featured in the tape even has IMDB credits.
794:
Has DVD release, is covered by Number 6.
With that we are all caught up, there are no outstanding number left. And it only took two months. The count shall resume:
