Very good implementation.

But please change the title to "500 best movies according to IMDB & RottenTomatoes".

I mean, look here: http://5000best.com/movies/Stanley_Kubrick

Clockwork Orange is 46th, 2001 is 211st, and Lolita (Kubrick's version), 1018th. Best movie that poor, not-so-much-talented Kubrick has apparently made is Strangelove, which is 32nd "best movie ever made".

It's very informative to know what IMDB thinks (for one thing, you know what movies to skip), but basing our "best movies" list on what they think is not all right.




I wonder what a better metric would be to account for this contemporary bias?


my guess is that 500best.com was taken.
