How Often Do You Check Someone's Top 10?

I posted my top 10 westerns.

I've been checking everyone's I've come across just to get a feel for their tastes. I'll probably keep checking because I have a poor memory.

Rarely, but when I do check someone's top 10, it's usually because:

A) They're a new member and I want to see what they like, or
B) They post something that makes me curious about their taste in movies, or
C) Someone makes a thread like this one.

Never. Lists are a bit arbitrary and kind of overdone.

Another reason I re-check is because people change their list.

Like SpelingError, once in a blue moon, and for many of the reasons others have brought up.

You get to see what's meaningful to people here, at least that's why I made mine - this is what's special to me, not necessarily what I think are the 10 greatest of all time, but 10 that mattered on a personal level. Though I don't expect anyone else to care about it as much as I care about it, it's there, it's me, if you're curious.

BTW - Belle de Jour is there to represent my favorite director, Luis Bunuel, though I have considered switching to Un Chien Anadolu, since that was the first I watched from him, and it just blew my mind to pieces. (I was a teen, channel surfing one night, and saw this person about the slice this woman's eye with a straight razor, it was on PBS and I thought... "What the...!!? Well, this is a long way from Sesame Street."

I also added a sneaky 11th in my profile banner.

And now the thread makes me want to revisit your 10s, maybe I'll go through the ones who posted here. Start clicking on those stars

I guess I'm also a stalker. I check MoFo'ers profiles obsessively. So curious about where everyone is from, how long the've been here, anything they've revealed in their About tab. I've been participating long enough now to begin to draw some conclusions about tastes and see personalities begin to coalesce around particular names. The Favorites and the Lists tabs in particular help me determine whom I might have something in common with.

I believe I have only swapped in one title since the favorites were set up (put La La Land in, replacing The Treasure of the Sierra Madre). Oh, nope: I also added in His Girl Friday at some point, in favor of North by Northwest. And I just now this morning shuffled the order (slightly) of a couple others. Mostly because the OCD in me didn't like the way the colors of the posters were clashing.

I don't check them in other MoFo's profiles very often, unless it's a newer soul that I don't know much about. In that case may sneak a peek to get a little idea of where their professed tastes lie.

From somebody with only eight favorites chosen and no profile banner, this does not shock me.

I've never changed my profile banner, it works though it's not from my favorite film noir by far.

Btw, where are these top 10s? On letterboxd?

Press Profile over Avatar. You'll be able to see other peoples Top 10s and other information under About. I think it's a good idea if you fill up yours.

Thanks, Tugg! I learn something new every day.

It's a cool forum feature but only once in a while.
