This poll is based on the rating histories of the 120 most active participants on the IMDb Poll Board during 2017. For a film to make this list it must be rated by at least 60 people. Which of these films is your favorite?
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.

What if we rated more than 35 movies a 10?
Dan Dassow, Champion
ElM,
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.

It would be too long anyway... but my ratings are public.
Sounds like a great idea. I wonder if the result will deviate a lot from the IMDb 250. Mine will definitely be different.

leavey-2,
Thanks for your support.
I agree it will be interesting to compare how we collectively rate films versus IMDb in general. When I publish the summary, I will include the overall rating of the film and the IMDb Top 250 rank as appropriate.

That would be fascinating. That sounds pretty labor-intensive and you already do so much but, if you decide to do that, I think that would be widely popular among poll authors. It seems like it would be a great poll, as well, and the results of the voters would also be really interesting. If there's any way any one could help, certainly let us know.
Hip-hip-hooray for Captain Dan! : )

ruby,
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.

I think you should start with that parameter, it might be the most relevant for 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.

I suppose you have a table for each user, each table contains hundreds of movies and their ratings, if that's the case you add in each line the name of the user and combine all the elements, so you have a table with these categories:
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.

ElM,
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.

Like I said before, I really like your idea and I'm very curious about this top 35. I hope for a lot of non-top250 movies. It would be an amazing poll.

Extremely preliminary top 5 results:
12 Angry Men
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Lawrence of Arabia
Schindler's List
This is based on 28 rating histories with a minimum of 14 votes and is likely to change, possibly drastically.

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.

Not that surprising then, although the Godfather movies are lower than in the Top 250, and newer films like Inside Out and Spotlight rank higher.
I like seeing this list shaping up, not surprised by the results
Great to see this list! I was hoping for more surprises and for non-top 250 movies. Maybe in the final list.
I just found this looking at very old suggestions. I guess it was too much work and was abandoned but it was a great idea.

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.
It was the same thing I was thinking.
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?

Ed,
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.
:) :)
That brings me to the idea to create an IMDb Poll Board Poll with favorite movies not seen in the Top 250. Is there a way to check if a movie was in the 250?
Just a silly thought: Hoekkie just mentioned maybe starting a poll sugg - as we've been saying, GS has a glitch that we have trouble clicking on (mostly newer) pages. Could one of you post a link to your GS poll sugg on here, like in a comment, and we can see if maybe going through it in a 'back way' works?
Sorry, but I'm really getting impatient with this glitch. :/

Thanks Dan! I was looking for that top250.info page. I think this would be a great poll. I will create the suggestion. Maybe we can make a connection between the 2 polls? I don’t know how. Maybe add a link when both polls are live.... But it will take a time when I have enough contributions, so I don’t know if it will work. If you have ideas, I like to hear them
