Re: IMDb "Top 250 Films"....

I also find it alarming that "Shawshank Redemption" is #2 on the list and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" is #5.

I happen to know that there is an effort by a "fistful" of teenage male Tarantino fans to make TGTB&TU the #1 film on the list. As recently as a couple months ago, this 1966 spaghetti western was #11. Of course, now that fans of "LOTR:Return of the King" (currently #4) caught wind of this, there has been an effort to defend that movie's rank.

It's ridiculous. Imdb's Top 250 list is really a useless popularity contest since they have little control over fraudulent and incompetent voting. Some people with too much time on their hands will open multiple accounts to rate decent films that they don't like 1/10 ("Titanic" is the most obvious victim of this practice) and to rate mediocre films 10/10 (the "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" movies being the most apparent benefactors). The sad part is that many younger people are influenced by the list and will use it to catch up on the "great" films that they missed.
