I thought you might be interested to know some statistics and to hear about new features that have recently been added to the site.

Since launching the site at the beginning of March '09 we have had a touch under 118'000 votes and a little over 2200 movies have been added to the database.

At the beginning of April '09 we dropped the bottom 50 movies from the initial Top 1000 (based on box office takings) and promoted the top 50 from the Up & Coming list. By doing this we have added movies such as The Pianist, American History X and A Clockwork Orange to the Top 1000 and dropped movies such as Little Man, High School Musical 3 and The Santa Clause back to the Up & Coming list. When we have enough votes we will drop another 50 movies from the Top 1000 and promote the next 50 movies from the Up & Coming list. Over time this process will give us a democratically chosen list of the Top 1000 movies of all time.

The following features have recently been added to the site -

Top Users (accessed from the main navigation menu)

A list of the top 100 users ordered by the number of votes cast. You can view their top movies ordered by votes for / against by clicking on their user name. The more times they have voted the more accurate their list of top movies will be.

Your Recent Votes (accessed from your account profile)

A short list of your last 5 votes cast with a delete function so you can correct any miss clicks you may have made when voting.

Your Top Movies (accessed from your account profile)

A list of your top movies ordered by votes for / against. The more times you have voted the more accurate this list will be.

Your Recommendations (accessed from your account profile)

A list of movie recommendations based on movies you have indicated you haven't yet seen, ordered by Top 1000 rank. There is a delete function so you can remove any movies you have seen or do not want to see from the list.
