TDK — 12 weeks ago

Someone just couldn’t wait to show The Dark Knight as #1. I wonder how long that will last. The 9.5 rating can’t sustain itself. Even ‘The Godfather’ and ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ can only maintain a 9.1 rating!

I updated the list as of today’s date (July 8th, 2008). I originally was just trying to get the 250th film on there as only 249 were listed, then I realized there were much more updates that needed to be made, especially once you get to the last 50 or so…

It is what it is — 32 weeks ago

The primary fault with IMDB top 250 is that the raters have a tendency to overpraise recent movies. Not that they are not good, just that the status of say, Eternal Sunshine compared to the rank of The Third Man is out of whack. Still, if one were to guide their viewing by this list they wouldn’t be in bad shape. Just remember that there is more out there and it may take some effort to find less mainstream fare.

It is an imposing task to keep this up to date, kudos to anyone who does so.

Update: IMDb movies that are available on-line — 35 weeks ago

I’ve done some more work on my cross-referenced list of movies on IMDb charts that are available on-line.

Visit the current list!

I’ve decided to move it off of Google Docs in favor of a personal wiki. I’m no longer making any special notations for newly-added movies. In fact, I was chagrined to find that I had to take some movies off the list because Netflix apparently took them off-line! (This included Chinatown, Jaws, the Matrix, North by Northwest, Run Lola Run, 12 Angry Men, and 12 Monkeys.)

Since it is on a wiki, I’d like to let interested parties help keep it maintained, but because I am paranoid of spammers, I would ask that you get in touch with me directly if you want editing access. Thanks in advance.

TCM — 50 weeks ago

If you get this channel, it’s worth checking to see if some of the classic films are here. One day I managed to record Gone with the Wind, The Searchers and Cool Hand Luke, all were on TCM, one after the other. Well worth checking if you don’t want to rent/buy films you might not like.

Edit: To whoever commented, the listsofbests site won’t let me read the comment. If it was a question, please contact me through the people site. I don’t know why it’s doing this, I can see other people’s comments, just not this latest one. Thanks
