IMDB Top 250 movies extended, past and present v2.0

I have further updated my Top 250 list with a lot of cool features. The main improvement is daily updating of ratings and votes, and the automatic insertion of any new movies that enter the top 250.

http://imdbtop250.t.com/

A brief explanation on headings:

  • Rank – the rank of the movie sorted by weighted and then average rating, similar to the actual IMDB top 250 rank
  • Rating – the IMDB weighted rating, pulled from each movie page so only available to 1 decimal place (for now)
  • Title – the movie’s title, if title was in quotes these have been removed
  • Year – the movies year
  • Votes – the total number of votes
  • Average – the movies average rating, calculated from the movies ratings page
  • Year in Top 250 – the last year the movie was seen in the Top 250, pre 2008 data was pulled from the Internet Archive
  • Actual – the actual IMDB top 250 rating, useful to filter only movies in the actual IMDB top 250

    hey good job on this. i have been wanting to look for something like this because the list keeps fluctuating and i am trying to watch as many of these movies as i can. There are a lot of movies that have appeared in your list but are missing such as Atonement which i definitely have seen on the list before. Heres a link where it was 240:

    Ken,

    Thanks for the comment.

    I only started updating the list daily from November, hence why the October post you linked is slightly different. The rest of the moves where taken from the Internet Archive http://www.archive.org/ and it is no way complete.

    It is a shame as so many good movies go missing and you never hear about them again.

    I will update the list manually to include the few missed, if you have other sources of cached lists that would help as well.

    What a great idea! And: how about bottom 100 extended? It might be even more needed because it’s changing even faster than top 250.
