The Incredibles is AWESOME. I actually think Apocalypse now is too long winded and overrated. I loikes Platoon I do's.
I'm gonna add you
it sucks you in. I just popped on to add Ditty as a friend and thought i may as well rank some movies....i got trapped for a good while
Oooooh... I have a friend!!!!
Ta Rawky Poo's
I will go & inspect later... I can't do it now.. or I will get sucked in again
ITS TOO HARD!!!
some of the choices are toooooo hard...
e.g. Ratatouille vs The Dark Knight!!!
and The Matrix vs The Fifth ELement...
how can I choose between them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the choices are also so bizarre it's hilarious:
For example, I've just been asked to compare "Bambi" with "The Deer Hunter"!

Its not really about comparing. You just have to think which one you enjoyed more. The way i do it is: if I could only watch one of the 2 films they give, which one would i pick?
I assume Bambi won?
I don't need an app to tell me my fave 20 films.

It ain't no app Sista! Its a website, sort of social media type thing, you can add friends and stuff. And it has Stats too.
An hour a day is enough for me on the internet now. Don't be dragging me into stuff I'll get addicted to.
This is it so far, after picking 100
Arrrgh how am I supposed to choose between Face/Off and Speed?!!
In the end I went with the one I've seen more times, which is Speed(but I've seen Face/Off loads too)
I love this site, cheers Rawky!

That's still "comparing", though, isn't it? You're just using your own personal criteria. As far as I can tell, the site gives no guidance on how to choose, so everyone's going to go about it differently...
2001 Vs Reservoir Dogs
They should have a too tough to call button
Good site though

Try selecting to rank "By Title", and enter "The Village".
If its still in your top 20 after that, it may be trying to tell you something...
Not a bad night in looking at it
I assume Bambi won?
Um...
I like doing this the random way, but wish there was a button for 'I don't like either of these movies' sometimes!
So far:
I've spent way too long on this over the weekend! So far this is my list....the top 10 is pretty accurate but 10-20 not so much.

I suppose you could always click the 'haven't seen either' button....as long as you don't mind them going into your 'movie list of shame' list.

At the moment it is more a list just of 'Films I've seen' rather than any realistic ranking of them.
My revised list:
Final Destination is a fun film to watch, but in my Top 20?

TBH, I've probably spent far too long on this, and it's a bit over-analysed as a result. I still got quite a few surprises, though, and my Top 50's a lot more diverse...
I'd try this, but i'm not sure there's a lot of point..I've seen less than half of anybody's top 20 list.
I spent a good half hour and it still hasn't come up with the correct answer!

It's because when you rate one against the other it doesn't discard them, just puts them both on your list, but with the one you chose in a higher position.
There are several ways you can do it and you can take any of them off your list, or get specific films added to your list. or manually move them up and down your list.
However, if you want to get a realistic list by comparing THEIR choices alone, then you'll need to keep doing it for hours and hours and hours.
I'd try this, but i'm not sure there's a lot of point..I've seen less than half of anybody's top 20 list.
There are hundreds and thousands of films out there.
A lot of the films that are on other people's lists haven't been offered to me as yet and a few I,ve got haven't been mentioned by others.
There are also a lot of films I was offered that I hadn't seen and quite a few I hadn't even heard of. It's all a bit of fun anyway, so you might as well go for it, So what if you've only ever seen 20 films in your life?
I'd try this, but i'm not sure there's a lot of point..I've seen less than half of anybody's top 20 list.
You can turn that into a positive, though:
As you go through it, you'll also develop your own (unfortunately-named) "List of Shame". This list of films you haven't seen can be arranged according to their overall rating by other members, thus creating a rough "to-do" list of viewing recommendations...
This is now:-
Numbers 1 to 16 are still the same, but 17 to 20 are different.
17. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
18. GoldenEye
19. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
20. Ghostbusters II
It's a good way to waste time I must admit, I was clicking around for ages and still some films I only had a passing liking to were way above others I liked far more. Took me a while to realise you could add your own to the mix.
It's the way it does it that, initially, gives a somewhat warped list.
It offers 2 films - say Mary Poppins and Fight Night. If you have seen them both you then choose one - we'll go for Mary Poppins. It doesn't discard Fight night because by choosing between them the program assumes you have seen them both, and puts both on your list.
So our list looks like this:-
1. Mary Poppins
2. Fight Night
We now get offered another 2 films - Let's say The Towering Inferno and X-Men - again we've seen them both, so we choose Towering Inferno. Again it doesn't discard X-Men and adds both to the list with Towering Inferno Higher. It actually inserts each new pair into the middle of your list - so it now looks like this:-
1. Mary Poppins
2. The Towering Inferno
3. X-Men
4. Fight Night
Suppose the next choices are Toy Story and Alien and we pick Toy Story. Again it puts bot titles into the centre of the list....and of course Toy Story will be in a higher position, so our list now looks so:_
1. Mary Poppins
2. The Towering Inferno
3. Toy Story
4. Alien
5. X-Men
6. Fight Night
The truth of the matter may be that you like Toy Story over Mary Poppins and Alien the least, if you keep on comparing their choices it WILL eventually change, but it'll require a LOT of comparing to get the order changed in that way. However, it can be quite fun to see it gradually changing in that way.
The reason it WILL change is because now and again it will offer a comparison between a film that is already on your list and a film it hasn't offered you before.
Realistically it probably wouldn't offer you choices as diverse as the titles I have used here, but I was just using them to illustrate it's working.
i bet you're all cursing me for introducing you lot to this. Who thought it could be so addictive?
My unseen movies list is shameful! Great way of finding out how to make a 'to watch' list.
i bet you're all cursing me for introducing you lot to this. Who thought it could be so addictive?
Flash in the pan Rawky? Looks a lot like we've mostly given up.

I'm still plugging away: I find it's one of those things I can do easily "in the background" of other tasks.
I probably shouldn't admit it, but my list's now into 4 figures...
