New Collection: IMDb Top 250

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

IMDb 

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is “Earth’s Biggest Movie Database”. The IMDb website consists of the largest known accumulation of data about films. In many cases, the information goes beyond simple title or press credits to include complete cast and crew credits, uncredited personnel, production and distribution companies, plot summaries, memorable quotes, awards, reviews, box office performance, filming locations, technical specs, promotional content, trivia, and links to official and other websites.

The IMDb Top 250 is intended to be a listing of the top ‘rated’ 250 films, based on ratings by the registered users of the website. The top 250 list comprises a wide strata of films, including major releases, cult films, independent films, critically acclaimed films, silent films and foreign films.
