This is how it is now, no? Except that it only goes up to 9 instead of 10. But that's unavoidable, given the way the space is laid out. Or was this not a suggestion, but you just setting the stage by describing what's there now?
I was describing it indeed.
Yeah, that bugged me a little too. Thinking of using a slightly different format (like three moderately sized images) and/or randomizing which ones show. What do you guys think?
Randomizing seems like a good idea to me. It works with all the lists.
I was thinking it might make sense to have the images show all be the same size/stature, too, since the current layout still implies a hierarchy that only applies to ranked lists. Yes/no?
I feel like the lists section just got boob implants.
I like the big image personally. More pop, really that simple for me.

I say "yes". Otherwise it looks a bit odd with the other lists.
Random images of the same size seems the most appropriate way to go for all the lists (unless you can somehow split the design for the ordered lists and the lists without hierarchy).
How come the 70s list doesn't show up as one the top five lists on your profile?

Depends on the order you put them in when you update them.
Click and drag them into an order you want.

Yes, I have that part figured out. No matter how high up on my list I place the 70s list, it doesn't show up. Not a big deal, except I was trying to put the MoFo lists at the top, rather than go by the lists I've seen the most movies from, which is how I had it.

Looking good, Yoda. :up: I think randomising them all would be a good idea, unless there's a way to randomise only the ones that aren't in a specific order? That might get confusing, though.
Also, is there any chance we'll be seeing access to the lists section on the mobile version some time soon?

My plan was to randomize only the non-ordered ones, yeah. I guess it's a little confusing, but I think showing lower list entries "on top" might be more confusing.
Also, is there any chance we'll be seeing access to the lists section on the mobile version some time soon?
Yeah, hopefully. I wanted to get a lot of that stuff done relatively quick after the redesign, but it keeps getting put off. I'm gonna bump it up the to-do list soon. Thanks for the reminder.

09-11-14, 09:36 AM
Maybe have a slightly different visual layout for the randomised ones, i.e. 10 images of the same size, and keep the layout we have for the ordered ones. Might make it easier to differentiate between the two.
That was what I had originally for all--10 smaller posters. It was only up for an hour or two until I whipped up this new version. So yeah, I might try that. It's not quite as attractive, but might better convey what's going on.
Okay, unordered lists get 10 random posters, ordered lists get the big artwork for the #1 film and posters for the next eight. Let me know if you guys notice/think of anything else. :)

I like how Guap bemoans the insular nature of all western animation, yet all of his favourite animation comes from one of the more insular cultures in the world: Japan.
I don't think Japan is that insular. Compared to most large countries it is quite open. I see many references made to foreigners all the time in Japanese media. Of course, Japan is much more isolated than small countries like Denmark, but that's not the correct unit of comparison. Japan is a civilization, like Europe+North America can be understood as a single society.
And the world's most insular culture is obviously western culture, in that list of top 1000 movies, I remember that about 890 movies on the list were from North America+Europe. In terms of animation the insularity manifests in these lists which are 85% western even though North America + Europe produces around 1/4 of the world's animation.
Western animation is just a manifestation of this general insularity. I noticed it in animation because it is the field where I consume the most non-Western culture, in music, videogames and live action film and TV about 90% of the favorites are also from North America + Europe. Though one thing that animation is different from other cultural products is that Europe + North America doesn't produce much of it specially in terms of adult content. The genres in animation that I like are virtually inexistent in that region of the world.
That's why anime fans exist and they are not called "animation fans", because these genres of animation that anime fans watch do not exist in the west (in significant quantities at least). Such as slice of life and serious science fiction.

Hello Yoda, after Miss. Vicky's Animated List is completed, I was wondering if you can add some lists to this site? I have some suggestions, some are personal choices while others would make others happy. You don't have to do all of them, just as many as you can.
AFI's 100 Heroes and Villains
AFI's 100 Songs
AFI's 100 Quotes
(For the above three, you'll have one checkoff for each film that appeared on those lists, not the actual song, quote or character.)
AFI's 25 Scores
AFI's Top 10 (All in the same list.)
James Stewart's Filmography
Cary Grant's Filmography
Alfred Hitchcock's Filmography
Gene Kelly's Filmography
Fred Astaire's Filmography
Stanley Kubrick's Filmography
Quentin Tarantino's Filmography
Martin Scorsese's Filmography
Leonardo DiCaprio's Filmography
Christopher Nolan's Filmography
BFI List of the 50 Films You Should See before the age of 14
Lots of good suggestions. A couple complications, though, one specific and one broad.
The specific one is that we're using an external data source for our movie database, so we'd have to work around that to program in things like quotes or characters that aren't always tied to any one movie.
The broad one is that the next round of features planned for that area could render a lot of this superfluous, anyway. ;) That's all I'll say for now.

O Pagador de Promessaa says 1964 on the Cannes list, but it's in the 1962 spot, and is from 1962.
Thanks for catching that. This is actually a tricky problem--the data source we use lists release dates for different countries. It was released in 1962 in Brazil, but 1964 in America. If we use foreign release dates we run into problems with other lists--for example, some of the films on the decade lists look wrong because they were technically released just before or just after the start or end of a decade in some other country.
I'll have to think about how to handle this. I might add a date override field for special cases. Might not be too much work if it remains a rare problem.

12-12-14, 09:18 PM
That's interesting. I went through all the lists looking for movies to watch for the 1964 thread, and I marked that one down. Mark f mentioned in the thread that it was actually 1962, so I looked it up, and sure enough IMDb lists it as 1962. That's when I posted here.
Dig--please, by all means, always post here when you notice something like that. It's just as likely to be an outright error as it is to be an example of the issue I mentioned. And it's important to know how often it arises, anyway, so I can figure out if it's frequent enough that I should take the time to modify the system a bit more. :) Much appreciated!
Okay, I just went ahead and added an override field. It might not be the most elegant solution (it's a little redundant, possibly), but it was quick and easy and this doesn't come up too often. Thanks again. :)

Minor thing: My profile isn't showing the animated list even though I dragged and dropped it to the top position.

Quick note: if you've filled out the Top 100 Animated List (http://www.movieforums.com/lists/movie_forums_animated.html), you might want to go back and re-check one of the films. Vicky pointed out that the database had the wrong version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame on there, so if any of you had the 1939 version already checked (or checked it not realizing it was listed as the 1939 version), you might want to rectify that. Just a heads-up. :)

Hi, here is one of those occasional and probably annoying 'film with the wrong year in the lists section':
Departures on Roger Ebert's great movies list is listed as 2011 but should be 2008. (I checked and it is definitely the 2008 movie, going by imdb dates, 2011 was the date on the review.)
Thanks! :) All fixed. Indeed, it's annoying, but more annoying to think of any out there that haven't been caught yet. I have to imagine we've gotten nearly all of them by now, though.
In case anyone's curious, it wasn't reading the review date, it was misidentifying it as another film with the same title from 2011.

It's probably a mahoosive huge task, but would it be possible to get a function that compiles all of those thousands of movies in people's profiles, and have them in some sort of list based on ranking?
Whether or not it's a huge task depends on the specifics. If the ranking is just "here's the films listed the most," it's not only easy, it's something I've already written the code for. But we'd probably want to weight them based on each person's ranking, and we'd also definitely want to exclude films listed by inactive users, or users with very few posts (you get a lot of very young people who sign up, enter a bunch of recent mainstream films, and never really stick around).
All of these are doable though, yeah. Just need to get off my butt. What usually ends up happening is I do work in bits and then do the last 20% of half a dozen things at the same time, and they all go live together.

The list I am way behind on is the documentaries list.
I've only seen 12% of the Docs List. I'm just not that interested in documentaries.
I went through a month or two in early 2015 where all i was watching was acclaimed documentaries which is the main reason i've seen quite a few from that list, and also why i was probably the most enthusiastic about the countdown. Plus i make sure to watch one from time to time for a change.
Oooof. Really weird. I swear after i did my 50s list earlier it said 57%, as i said i thought i had miscounted because i'd counted it as 56% during the countdown and i didn't double check everything because i was about to do something. Well i went to check my docs list after you guys were talking about it and noticed my 50s one was at 56% now, i went through it all and it's right there's nothing not crossed off that i've seen. Really don't have a clue what happened but i swear it was at 57% earlier.
Yeah, that's kinda what I meant about maybe having to re-check some of these after I fix some of the mislabeled ones.
I also fixed a bug with a rounding error, though based on what I changed it should be rounding up more rather than down, so it's probably the first thing, in your case.

Because the 1946 version wasn't even in the list database, this may lead to a little more weirdness than usual for people who'd already checked it off, though nothing beyond a stray percentage error here or there. If you notice any issues, please go check that off or on accordingly and re-save, and it should be fine. Thanks. :)
If anyone is going to cross A.I off the lists or already has you have to cross both the Eberts Great Movies and the Sci-Fi list one off separately btw. One is written as A.I.: Artificial Intelligence and the other is A.I. Artificial Intelligence without the : . Not sure what that's about, just a heads up.
Thanks, I'll see about merging them. People might have to re-check it off after I do, though.
Okay, I've merged the two, and I've updated any seen logs that had the other one checked off. I've also updated any list updates that had that as the only update, so it's not perfect. But if you go into any list that has it and re-save, you should have all your stats up to date, albeit with a few slightly wonky old list updates hanging around in the past. Sadly, that can't always be helped.
BTW, Yoda there's a similar thing i just noticed. Withnail and I is on the British list as Withnail and I and it is on the Ebert and MoFo 100 one as Withnail & I.
Thanks, should be fixed in a couple of hours. Same thing as above, with the re-checking and all that.
So this is cool: we recently passed 200,000 "seen" entries. :up:
Ok, first, awesome! 200,000 entries on the MoFo Lists! Cool!
Second, there's a linking error in the lists. Fantastic Planet (1973) has two separate entries. One is in top 100 animated and is labled as just "Fantastic Planet", while on top 100 Sci-fi and top 100 of the 70's, it's labled as "Fantastic planet (Planéte Sauvage, La)".
Side note; why's it called "Fantastic Planet" when the translation is "The Savage Planet"?

Thanks. Standard caveats from my last few posts in this thread about how people might need to re-check this once I merge them (hopefully in just a few minutes).
Side note; why's it called "Fantastic Planet" when the translation is "The Savage Planet"?
Mainly because the former is just how it's known in most places. Both Wikipedia and IMDB have that as the title, even if the translation is rough. Not ideal, but so it goes.
Who got the 200000th entry?
I dunno if I can say for sure, because I wasn't monitoring it at the time and the ID counter increments steadily and doesn't account for any entries that have been deleted...
...but with all those caveats, the entry with ID200,000 is Upton checking off The Road Warrior (http://www.movieforums.com/lists/updates/26320.html) for the OFCS's Top 100 Sci-Fi Films list.

I'd guess one of the lesser known Cannes Winners. Even members like Mark and Holden who have most of their lists filled seem to still have a decent amount to see from those.
Well, obviously the ones with zero. ;)
But if you mean of those that have at least one, there's like five tied.

Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior isn't melted together yet. There's one The Road Warrior in the Sci-Fi list and another Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in the 80s list.
Also, I noticed that when I typed in "Road", Fury Road, Broadway Danny Rose and Bullets Over Broadway are given without being on any list.
I checked and for the latter two, the explanation is probably that they're on a director's club list (other films from those lists are given as well when you search for them), but I'm not sure why it's the case for Fury Road.
Mad Max: Fury Road is #9 on the MoFo Top 100 Action Movie List which is not an official list apparently. By the way, are we deleting the Sci-Fi List we already have once the new one is done? I hope not but I don't know since they'll probably be very similar as far as the movies. Obviously this new one will have some newer titles.

Nah, we'll definitely have both, since one's from the OFSC and one's from us and all that. Fine with us having our own version of all the more "official" ones on there.
Came upon another post which isn't melded. Nausicaä of the valley of the wind holds three different spots on three different lists (MoFo animation, Best comic book and top 100 of the 80s), but only two of them are linked. MoFo animation and Best comic book are linked, but best of the 80s has a typo where Nausicaä is spelled with Nausicaa instead of Nausicaä.
Thanks, will combine shortly. I'll switch over all the list updates that are just that film, but standard notice about maybe having to re-check it (or having it excluded from a handful of updates awhile back) and all that.

Yeah. We'll be wanting to do a new General 100 at some point and there's no reason to take out the old one since that's from a different group of members; don't think it should be different with the Sci-Fi one unless it's very similar which i seriously doubt it will be.

You're right, I missed that. Thank you: should be fixed in a bit.
So, I think I mucked up a couple of these merges. I think, for the last several, I forgot to re-link the new merged movie to the list, so a few of these are probably missing from some lists. I'm tracking them down now, but just a heads-up.
Worst-case scenario I can whip up a script to try to find NULL values with table joins and stuff like that.
Meh. I'm dumb.
Grand Illusion is under its French title: La Grand Illusione in the Sight and Sound list and under its English title Grand Illusion in Eberts Great Movies. So you'll have to cross it off twice if you haven't already.
Shouldn't the Cannes Film Festival Winners list be updated with The Square? Only reason I'm guessing it hasn't is cause its not been widely released so most people haven't had the chance to see it yet

Hey, quick note: uploaded the wrong file and I think the most recent copy I have is on a different computer, so I've temporarily disabled list updates. Should be fixed by tomorrow morning, but it could cause a lot of issues to have the old file in there overnight, so I figured this is ultimately better than having to clean up a bunch of random stuff after. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Okay, I think it should be okay. May have overreacted a bit; not sure the file in question has actually changed much in awhile, anyway. Let me know ASAP if you guys run into any issues, though.

The Ebert's Great Movies list has Blade Runner specified as The Final Cut while the other lists don't specify which version
I'd have to check, but I assume if it's not specified, it's the theatrical version.
It was on the 80's, top 100 and sci-fi Lists which were ours and we didn't have to differentiate between the versions. I imagine Eberts is the only one with a specific version since it was one persons favourite movies and he went for his favourite one.

Another problem I've encountered with the 80s list is that when you're viewing another user's lists to see what they've crossed off, the 80s one is in alphabetical order while other decades are ranked normally.

I know I made a mention of this before, because its happened a few times, and now I'm sure it wasn't my laptop, since I'm using a new one... I make sure I hit Save after every movie selection I cross off. I crossed off one movie, and then saw it unchecked in another.
Unfortunately I can't investigate or help without specifics when it happens. If you notice it please PM me right away with the list and the two movies in question. The system basically never gets changed and I've had no other reports, though, so I'm really inclined to think it's an occasional misclick, since I still do that sometimes (especially on mobile, though I assume it's not mobile if you're on your laptop).

If it helps, the movie was "Belle de Jour"... I probably did this 15 minutes ago, and re-checked it while going through another list.
Thank you. I see you re-checking it, in the database, but the update before doesn't list it as having been removed (it logs both additions and removals with every update).
Is this a "I know I checked that in the past" or specifically seeing it checked and then unchecked? Because the former has a lot of explanations, potentially, while I can't think of any for the latter (or even how it could happen, theoretically, at least off the top of my head).

Just out of curiosity, I noticed there was an action countdown done a couple years ago... is there a reason it's not in the lists section? It would be fun to check off.
It was "unofficial," in the sense that the community didn't really vote on whether to do it and it had its own sort of rules and criteria. I think it was great, and a great success (quite well run, in fact), but I ultimately made the choice to include Lists that had all followed that basic community consensus criteria. Especially because at some point (I know I've been saying this awhile...) people are just going to be able to create custom lists whenever they want.

I rated Häxan previously but it hasn't crossed if off the list - just checked and the date is off (1929 instead of 1922) when you use the movie search (though it does state 1922 on the actual movie page). Maybe it needs to have the English title addition ": Witchcraft Through the Ages" added (which is what is on the individual movie page even though the search uses just the original title)?
Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans and A Trip To The Moon have also been rated by me but not automatically crossed off on the list. Could be because I always capitalise all words in a title and "of" and "to the" would normally be in lower case?
Good grief there's two Haxans in the same decade?
I'll check into the ratings. My best guess is we have some dupes because the titles on the list don't match our data source.

No, 1922 is totally the correct date .... if you use the Movies tab though and type in Haxan it brings it up as 1929 for some reason .... click on that though and the movie page is correct with 1922. It's all very confuddling if you ask me :D
Ah. So, technically, it says 1929 on our data source. In some cases the threshold for "release" is different than when the film was produced. I'm pretty sure that's a lot more common with very old films. I think the source is probably right.
One of these films, for example, is listed as being released in 2002, presumably because it never had a "real" release back in the day but got a limited run recently, after it had become a classic.
