1769 rankings / 792 movies:

Hey. We need to hang out, that is a great list. There isn't a movie on there that I haven't seen or would call bad.

its a only a test at the mo but need to brush up on some web programming languages so I'll end up building it out to something real.

The back end spread just from the GAF trail has been really interesting (added a few games later so see how long it takes to even out).

really simple ranking at the mo
Winner = +1
Looser = -1

I will step in as a financial backer right now. Ground floor, baby!

 

[Sinatar]

Grrrr.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Goodfellas vs. Children of Men

Hard stuff, folks; this is hard.

Does anyone know how they handle their rating system. Is it purely binary, or positive and negative? I'm curious for Gowans sake, I like his little project and I'd love to help out with what I can, in this case finding out about the rating system.

 

[Tim-E]

Please god get Napoleon Dynamite out of my top 20.

 

[Tim-E]

It truly is a sad day in American history when you have to choose Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls over the Burton remake of Planet of the Apes.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Grrrr.

Holy shit.

I think whatn happens is that the winner takes over the loser's spot, and the loser moves down a spot. ie. if your #2 and #45 movies are matched up and you choose #45, then it jumps all the way to #2, while the other falls to #3.

I want that poster really fucking bad.

 

[Pakkidis]

I give them my email but I receive nothing, how long did it take to get an email from them.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Finally put together a fairly accurate top 20 and a generally true top 50. I wish they weren't missing some of my favorites though, still (Pineapple express came out last year!)

1. The Dark Knight
2. Memento
3. Up
4. Batman Begins
5. The Prestige
6. Eternal Sunshi...
7. Good Will Hunt...
8. Brick
9. Hot Fuzz

20. Speed Racer

 

[bigcheese]

Damn, 12 Monkeys vs. Children of Men. That's way too hard for me to pick.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Damn, 12 Monkeys vs. Children of Men. That's way too hard for me to pick.

This is very true.


Lethal Weapon 1 & 2 was a painful one as well.

 

[RyanDG]

After about 1500 rankings I'm starting to have my movies sort themselves out:

1. 2001 A Space Odyssey
2. Return of the King
3. The Usual Suspects
4. The Dark Knights
5. Requiem for a Dream
6. Chinatown
7. Aliens
8. Dr. Stangelove
9. Alien
10. The Godfather, II
11. The Road to Perdition
12. Apocalypse Now
13. Star Wars
14. Stand by Me
15. Spartacus
16. The Bourne Identity
17. A Clockwork Orange
18. Aladdin
19. The Professional
20. Sunshine

I've come up with two things... #1 - I'm a Stanley Kubrick whore. And #2 - my video tastes aren't quite as 'refined' as I thought they were.

 

[Spotless Mind]

I think it's a pretty damn annoying way of ranking movies. Some of the early crap that first came up is still in my top 50, because nothing better appeared to vs them. Mars Attacks was in my top 20 for a while and i don't even really like the movie. It has started to look better, but i'm still not that satisfied. It is a nice time waster/diversion when i'm bored, however.

1 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2 A Clockwork Orange
3 Vertigo
4 Raiders of the Lost Ark
5 The Elephant Man
6 Aliens
7 Brazil
8 Fargo
9 Wonder Boys
10 Good Bye Lenin!
11 Children of Men
12 Rear Window
13 Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
14 Alien
15 Shaun of the Dead
16 Jaws
17 Blade Runner
18 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
19 Full Metal Jacket
20 12 Monkeys

 

[-Kees-]

1. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
2. Apocalypse Now
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. Amadeus
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
7. Children of Men
8. City of God
9. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford*
10. There Will Be Blood*
11. Zodiac*
12. Raiders of the Lost Ark
13. The Big Lebowski
14. Empire of the Sun
15. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
16. Blade Runner
17. The Empire Strikes Back
18. Pulp Fiction
19. Snatch
20. Fight Club

*2007 pwnd

I don't have a definitive list, it's always in flux and a lot of the lower half are pretty interchangeable.

You followed this link right? http://www.flickchart.com/Splash.aspx?i=9CE35639-A03C-4F82-87EC-5B1D140A9D29

 

[fistfulofmetal]

this shit is pretty much perfect now:
ordered from left to right

 

[Assemble!]

Pretty cool site. There is the issue of random matches not weeding out movies that are good but not great... aka - Interview With a Vampire was number 2 on my list forever because it kept versing movies like Little Nicky! Once you've done it enough, limit the matches to top 100, and then top 50, and then top 20.

Lion King, Tenenbaums, Usual Suspects, Amadeus, and Nightmare Before Christmas are all in my top ten, which they would probably be top five, so it's getting darn close.

It gets hard when you have to choose between LOTR movies or Godfather 1 vs 2. Fun site.

May I ask how Major League is not in your database, while Major League II and III are? What the hell, dude?

 

[roosters93]

Ha awesome. :lol

 

[nathanchase]

Haha... not by any purposeful exclusion on our part, certainly. Probably just a data problem with that particular film that we haven't resolved yet. We'll get it fixed and back in there soon... thanks for the heads up! :lol

Yessss, I'll be waiting. Keep up the good work!

 

[malek4980]

Add "High Noon"!

 

[VideoMan]

 

[InnerFu]

Dear God, how the fuck are you supposed to choose between those? That's like telling a Mom to pick her favorite child....except harder.

 

[SPACECADET]

[cory]

After 1000 rankings... could be a lot better.

 

[professor_t]

Absolute slaughter:

The Godfather vs. Batman & Robin

There's blood everywhere.

 

[Brian Fellows]

My top 20 is starting to look like it should after about 1600 rankings.....

1. Office Space
2. Snatch
3. Ghostbusters
4. Aliens
5. Dazed and Confused
6. V for Vendetta
7. Borat

19. The Bourne Identity
20. A League of Their Own

The only major omission is LA Confidential and I've got it up to 22.

 

[Sullen]

Does this site still have a lot of issues for anyone else? About 50% of the time I'm on there I just endlessly get the 'loading' bar when trying to rank movies.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Haha... not by any purposeful exclusion on our part, certainly. Probably just a data problem with that particular film that we haven't resolved yet. We'll get it fixed and back in there soon... thanks for the heads up! :lol

Add shit tons more foreign and art house films. The Criterion Collection should be at least fully on there. Like only 3 films that are in my top 100 right now would even be in my top 100 or even 500.

 

[Expendable.]

Flickchart just added a bunch of new features!

the two notable ones

- You can now only rank previously unranked films
- If you look in your profile you can see how many days you have spent watching movies :lol

69 days, 14 hours, 46 minutes spent watching movies

 

[Arozay]

1. Pulp Fiction
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Memento
4. True Lies
5. Fight Club
6. Back to the Future
7. Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade
8. The Prestige
9. Snatch
10. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
11. The Shawshank Redemption
12. Casino
13. Star Wars
14. GoodFellas
15. Reservoir Dogs
16. The Departed
17. The Usual Suspects
18. Total Recall
19. Robocop
20. Seven

Kinda shaping up. It's hard to get an accurate list when movies can only move into the place of others directly, seems that way anyway. Plus whenever you try to single a movie out to get a higher rank they always seem to match it against the shittiest movies you've seen.

 

[Hellshadow]

I didn't want to create a new thread so I bumped this one instead. Is there a video game version of Flickchart or something similar? I would waste countless time ranking games lol.

Someone in this thread was talking about developing one, there could be some money there! I like the idea.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Sorry to bump the thread, but isn't the public launch today?

yep! sign up people: Flickchart

 

[mario ate my burger]

This site is so addicting :lol

I can't stop!

Matrix has jumped to 3rd in my list

 

[Mr. Sam]

My list, which I had for several days before the public launch. Ain't I cool?

1. Pulp Fiction
2. Jaws
3. Barton Fink (<-- look at the avatar)
4. No Country For Old Men
5. The Matrix
6. Back to the Future
7. Pan's Labyrinth (ehh)
8. E.T. (again, ehh)
9. Fight Club
10. Snatch (WTF?)

Films like Aliens, Starship Trooper and Die Hard seem eager to bust in.

 

[mario ate my burger]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

 

[CajoleJuice]

"Isn't the choice obvious?"

Yes, yes it is.

 

[bud]

this is just cruel.

 

[Lakitu]

The site is awesome, but it does need some changes. Why if I rank a movie over a movie that perhaps shouldn't be so high in the list, does it automatically stay on top of the one I just ranked rather than going lower, based on recent stastitics that movies below may be better?

 

[AlternativeUlster]

this is just cruel.

Ebert would pick Goodfellas. It was his #1 film of that decade.
