Flickchart - The Better Way To Rank The Best Movies Of All Time

Here is a new service. It presents you with two movies. You pick which one you like better. That's it.

It then creates a ranking system of your favorite, with discussions and charts built in. It's very addicting and a great way to catch some movies you haven't seen yet.

Sign up here.


Flickchart co-founder Nathan Chase adds a few tidbits:

* You can see, out of the movies you mark as "haven't seen," which ones are the highest ranked by Flickchart users, which gives you some great recommendations when you need a new movie to watch.
* In addition to your main list, you can also see your top 1980's movies, top horror movies, or any other year, decade, or genre -- we'll be adding "by director" and "by actor" soon, too!
* You can share your matchups on social networks - currently at FriendFeed (and soon on Twitter and Facebook).
* We'll have Netflix queue integration hopefully before we launch, so you can auto-add movies you come across. Direct to your queue!
* You can watch movie trailers as you rank to help remind you of the films and help you make your voting / watching decisions.

Here is a little teaser trailer if you are still confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gq9Tj_VcBE

and make sure to add me as a friend!

Anyone use this yet?

That's silly. Every time a remarkably bad movie comes up, people are going to choose it just to be funny.

Hmm, looking at the main charts it seems like that isn't the case. I encourage everyone to try it for at least a couple minutes and post the greatest battles here!

I just had Back to the Future vs. Jurassic Park.

Had to go with JP, so tough.

Seems cool, in theory. But "slider" as a name was already taken so I'm bailing until another time. Bleugh.

Giving it a shot now...

I mean, at the very least, it'll create your own personal ordered list, right?

Yeah, you can filter it by genre, year, decade, all time. It's pretty cool to get a quick glance at your favorites. Also creates a list of the best movies (according to Flickchart users) that you haven't seen and they are implementing Netflix soon so you can add them right away!

I don't care what you guys think. The Mummy Returns is better than Slumdog Millionaire.

This is going to be easy.

EDIT: Time to beef up the servers, flickchart. SO SLOW.

I picked I, Robot over The Godfather (that's right, I like it more than The Godfather) and during the next choice it told me "Make up for that last one." :lol

You need to do this a ton to get a list even remotely close to your actual list. Right now it's saying my top 3 are Jerry Maguire, Amelie, and The Mummy. That's not even in the same state as my actual top 3. It's just matching those up with crappy movies.

That's dirty pool Flickchart. It's pulling that on me:

Empire Strikes Back vs. Anchorman

My favorite comedy of all time against one of my favorite movies of all time. Screw you Flickchart.

I mean Scarface is pretty bad but is there anything lower than TMR? I think not.

Eh. I went with Jurassic Park. Haven't seen both in awhile, though.

Signs or BSG (1979)?

This website is completely useless. Non-american movies are extremely underrepresented. If you look at the charts its clear that it only creates a popularity list. Even imdb does a better job to figure out the best movies. I rated Terminator 3 or 4 times on top of other movies yet its still only rank 6 in my list behind shit like "I am Legend" and "Babel".
The poor performance of the website is the dot on the i.

These early ones really weed out the weirdos. It must get trickier the more you do.

Don't worry DAX, I'm heading out in a minute. I'll stop clogging the thread.

This is a brand new website, they are implementing more and more foreign and obscure movies. Give it time! For now it's awesome.

No, it doesn't. Unless you start filtering for your own top movies.

And yea, the best movies list for the site is approximately 10x worse than IMDB Top 250, it's pretty amazing. :lol

...but I was addicted last night anyhow.

Well, at least it's an amusing distraction then. I'll play with it some more at work.

Yeah, this is the kind of stupid shit I can get lost in. I've spent who knows how many hours rating movies in Netflix.

The top movies chart makes it look like the average user is 18 years old. :lol
