Speaking of Imdb.com, I'm wondering, how seriously do you guys think people take the rankings?

[/ QUOTE ]I used to vote pretty seriously on every movie I saw. Sometimes weeks later I'd decide "oh this movie really deserved a 9 instead of the 8 I gave it". I think people that vote on a LOT of movies take it seriously.

Nice. I didn't think anyone besides me liked, or even saw this movie.

Have you spoken to anyone, ever?

Re: IMDB top 250 movies list
 

The fact that "American Beauty", while a great movie, is voted above Apocalypse Now and Taxi Driver, is rediculous.

Also, the fact that Se7en, Million Dollar Baby, Crash, and Sin City, which are all good movies, are in the top 100 while Annie Hall, Full Metal Jacket, The Deer Hunter, Ben-Hur, Platoon, All Quiet on the Western Front, Scarface, and The Untouchables are ranked below (some way below) tells you a lot about the voters.

For the Top 250, only votes from regular voters are considered

That's taken from the top 250 list. So loads of fanboys turning up and giving a movie a 10 won't overly affect its top 250 placement.

BTW, to the poster who singled out Serenity, is that really the worst film you could find in the top 250? I can see worse films which rank higher.

The fact that you would group the vastly overrated flash-and-fire films like Scarface, The Untouchables, and Platoon with real classics like The Deer Hunter and Ben-Hur says a lot about something as well.

http://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom is the bottom 100, is it odd that ive seen more of the bottom 100 than the top 250?

Mr. Nanny and Street Fighter I love those movies. It appears as none of the voters appreciate unintentional comedy.

Re: IMDB top 250 movies list
 

"The increadilby strange creaturs who stopped living and became mixed up zombies 2"

Might be the best title ever.

The only ones i've seen out of the bottom 100 are the Police Academy ones..but i'm not sure if i've even seen the ones mentioned...

Re: IMDB top 250 movies list
 

Actually, I never really liked Scarface or The Untouchables, (I think Platoon is more than a flash-and-fire film), but, nonetheless, they surely deserve more than a movie like Sin City.
