List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls044438721/
Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/Omo8DyLUqJs/
This is a summary of the ratings of 22,307 films from these 120 active participants: Ratings_Summary
= = =
My concept is to export the ratings for all the IMDb Poll Board and IMDb GS Poll Board contributors with public ratings. I would average the ratings and find the 35 top rated films for the contributors and create a poll.
As you may notice, I have not provided a list. Since this may be a fair amount of effort, I would like some feedback on whether thiswould make an interesting poll before I create the list.
Due to privacy concerns, I will not identify whois included in the poll. Likewise, I will not use anyone’s ratings list if theyprefer that I do not use it.

It doesn't make any difference. I will download the public ratings for all the contributors to the IMDb Poll board and GS IMDb Poll board, then average the ratings. If the ratings are not public, they will not be included in the average.
I'm not asking anyone to provide their ratings in this thread. However, you can if you wish to do so.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've downloaded 28 ratings histories so far. Collectively, poll authors and other contributors have a diverse taste in films.
It's labor intensive, so it will take a fair amount of time. Unfortunately, there is no practical way for people to help me in compiling the data.
After I compile the data, I will ask for advice on the minimum number of votes for a title to be included in the poll.

Begin by selecting the movies with a specific number of votes. If you work on 28 members, then how about focusing on movies that got at least 14 votes (that appear in 14 lists, or 20... or maybe you'll find out that there are movies rated by all of us.
There's no need to have movies that only 1,2 or 3 of us have rated a 10.

user ----- movie ------ rating
if you use Excel pivot table, you can see how many times Pulp Fiction or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly were featured in a list (a number between 1 and 28) and you can calculate the average rating for the movies you'll have selected. I'm pretty sure you already know that so maybe that's not the way it works.

I'm using Excel pivot tables to tabulate the results. I will probably have to tabulate portions and combine together later.
For 28 users and a minimum of 14 votes, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has 19 votes with a rank of 14 and an average rating of 8.579. This is lower than IMDb's overall rank of 9 and rating of 8.9.

I remember I onced tried to make a Top 250 of IMDb poll board contributors, but after downloading the vote histories, It was so much information and it was complicated to link an address to each title that I let it go.
However I find it to be a great idea and I totally support it, feel free to use my vote history.

This is a great idea - it certainly is no easy task but it will yield some highly interesting results. As people have already mentioned above, it will be interesting to see how much this deviates away from the IMDb Top 250 - I would imagine quite a bit of overlap.
Excited for this!

IMDb changed the format of the exported list while I was compiling the list.
I'm inclined to go with this preliminary list that I compiled, since I do not know when/if I will be able to start this again from scratch.

02 12 Angry Men
03 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
04 The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
05 Schindler's List

07 The Dark Knight
08 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
09 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
10 Saving Private Ryan

I was hoping for a few surprises in the list, but it's kind of the same as the Top 250.I came to the same conclusion after I had 120 board members tabulated.

But how about this.
Word it so that movies in IMDb's Top 1000 are exempt.
IMDb Poll Boards Top Second Tier Movies
Or some such wording?

Word it so that movies in IMDb's Top 1000 are exempt.I would rather not. What you suggest would take a significant amount of effort; it would also violate the original concept of the poll.
