YMDB

A cool site for movie-goer.

Check out my profile: .
Yet, I rather call it a list of favorite movies rather than top movies.
It's a pity that they only allow 20 movies in the list. Why not 100?

  1. If the order of the list does not reflect preferrence at all, then 20 or 100 doesn't make any difference, they are all sorts of what one enjoys to watch. But if the order does somewhat reflect your preferrence, (which would in turn tells something about your taste) then 20 is enough. It would simply be the best 20 from your point of view.

  2. I don't call them the best even in my point of view. Why, some movies may not be very great but they are still our favorites because they "suit" our tastes or because they fit us in certain time, certain mood etc.
    So they can be the movies that I like best but I'm hesitant to call them the best movies in my point of view. When we say something the best, I think there should be two things: we love it and we find something valuable, creative, beautiful or simply wonderful in it.
    Like in love, the girl I like best is not necessarily the best girl available, even according to my taste.
    So, I think these two things are different.

  3. "When we say something the best, I think there should be two things: we love it and we find something valuable, creative, beautiful or simply wonderful in it".

    Your definition is fair. But did you imply that you could not find any single movie that would satisfy such a definition? Or did you imply you could not find 20 movies that would satisfy it?

  4. I see what you meant now :) The thing is, sites call it 20 top movies. But you call it your favorite. Of course, there should be 100 if we list all the favorite ones, maybe even more, if we allow the lower class to get into the list ;)
