| Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Oct 24 2007 : 4:14PM Just a thought, in that you might consider reducing the number of movies listed on each page, dedicating a bit more space to each specific title, thats deemed itself worthy of such attention. Would it be possible for it to also generate a captioning link, perhaps just a bit of lead-in text, to one of the positive reviews that justified it as a selection?

| Drew Black broken crankshaft 8011 Posts 9/99 | Posted - Oct 24 2007 : 4:32PM To include a caption or lead-in text would be difficult to automate for a couple of reasons: 1) which review do we grab the text from? each of the movies on the list have been reviewed by at least three different reviewers and 2) I can't think of a way to automate the generation of the text snippet in a meaningful way. I think it would become a data entry burden and as such would never be updated. [Link] |

| Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Oct 24 2007 : 8:23PM Was just an idea to add emphasis on the reviews, and maybe showcase the selections. Merely employing larger text, may likely accomplish a similiar effect, without all the technical headaches. Edited by - Endless Loop on 10/24/2007 8:26:08 PM [Link] |

| satchman23 Studios - do not send screeners to this person. 1906 Posts 12/06 | Posted - Oct 25 2007 : 12:08PM I was going to suggest the idea to sort by studios but i see we have that now so i don't need to say anymore on that. Is there anyway possible to be able to sort by proformers? Edited by - satchman23 on 10/25/2007 12:11:38 PM [Link] |

| Joel Member 331 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Oct 26 2007 : 4:59PM Personally I never have time to write a review far far to busy on becoming a millionaire. However if I did wouldn't reveiw a film that had already been reveiwed - seems somewhat pointless. Also you risk getting people writing pointless reviews "this was great" just to get their opinion in. In general it's a good idea, but I think a better way to get films on the list would make it a real 100 must-own movies. Maybe 1 vote per week per person, and no voting more than once for 1 movie.

| Endless Loop Senior Member Tomatometer 1129 Posts 8/04 | Posted - Oct 26 2007 : 6:19PM Given that understanding, even if its one sentence blurbs taken from each review, I've found the more varied opinion there is on a flick, the more defined the actual sort of content I'm looking for within that movie, ultimately becomes.It would seem to me the idea of "100 must own movies" would indeed consist of movies determined by process of election, which would be interesting in itself. My understanding was that this page was to bring attention to movies, that had quietly accumulated very impressive reviews, and thus merited another round of consideration, by those who perhaps either overlooked, or underestimated their content the first time around. I would surmise the idea of this page, is to help bring into view, that which has been the primarily goal of this site from its very inception, and thus serves a rather significant purpose on it's own behalf.

| Joel Member 331 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Oct 26 2007 : 9:33PM As the action is based on fact and not opinion provided it is a fairly accurate description you can probably make up your own mind as to whether you might like that kind of film. Edited by - joel on 10/26/2007 9:35:25 PM [Link] |

I'm careful when approving or not approving reviews. The more opinions on a single title the better. [Link] |
| Joel Member 331 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Oct 27 2007 : 3:07PM Certainly anything on that list is worth a look, the problem is more than some outstanding flicks are not, and never will be on there. However, it is an improvement as a whole, over time maybe it can evolve, who knows. [Link] |
