• I am gathering a list of "best movies" from each year to watch. I'm looking for examples of cultural significance, popularity at release, and of course, enjoyability! What are some of your suggestions?

  I found this website called icheckmovies.com. This site has a bunch of both official and unofficial "Best Of" lists (Academy Award, IMDB, 1001 Movies to See Before You Die, Sight and Sound polls, etc etc etc). Some days I would pick a list that looked interesting. Some days I would just look at the "unchecked movies" list and sort by "number of official lists." Then I'd pick something to watch. Sometimes it was an... Source: over 1 year ago

• Greatest ‘Greatest Movies Of All Time’ List

  I'm a frequent user of icheckmovies.com and they have virtually all legitimate movie lists out there. Makes it super easy to keep track of progress. I've seen the full AFI Top 100 but there are certainly better lists out there. Source: almost 2 years ago

• The Movies that The Oscars Got Wrong

  Icheckmovies.com is a movie tracking website (similar to Letterboxd) that revolves around checking off how many movies you've seen from various "toplists", as decided by the owners and community.

• Ex-Kotaku staff go independent and launch Aftermath

  I don't think that is very accurate, in my experience the most popular reviews are Personality Driven and it is largely done in the youtube space, the next most popular writen sites are also more neutral when it comes to their reviews (Gamespot, IGN, Gameinformer, Eurogamer). Honestly people just want two things, to hear their favorite content creator talk about the game or have someone say how great it is. But in... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• ‘Metroid Prime Remastered’ Is a Proud Celebration of Letting Older Games Stay Feeling Old

  Check out the hall of fame at https://opencritic.com/ instead - no remakes/remasters/ports allowed, so it's all new games (ignoring Trails to Azure, though it's being released worldwide for the first time). Source: about 1 year ago

• What's up with the user score?

  Am I the only one that finds Opencritic to be much better at visualizing the reviews? Source: about 1 year ago

• What Python library is the best to scrap from OpenCritic?

  Import requests Import urllib.parse Games = ['onion asault','Untitled Goose Game','COD'] #need these headers else they know you are scraping and tell you to go get a api key lol Headers = { 'accept':'application/json, text/plain, */*', 'origin':'https://opencritic.com', 'referer':'https://opencritic.com/', 'user-agent':'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36...

• Fandom Buys TV Guide, Metacritic, GameSpot and Other Brands for About $50 Million in Cash

  Metacritic blows. Rotten tomatoes isn't the best but it's much better than Metacritic for TV and movies and Opencritic is a million times better for video games. Source: over 1 year ago
