  • 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
  • Today I earned my Criterion award from icheckmovies.com. I have finally attained enlightenment.
    I love icheckmovies.com. I have the criterion bronze myself. 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: over 1 year 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. There are currently 214 recognized lists, which vary from IMDB's Top 250, to BoxOfficeMojo's Highest Grossing Films, to Quentin Tarantino's Coolest Movies. /r/movies even used to maintain a list, but it appears to be...

  • 1001 list by movie length
    Icheckmovies.com is highly recommended (by me). Source: over 2 years ago

  • My Dragons Den journey
    So I like watching Dragon's Den Canada but it's never easy. I've added the meta data from the CBC website to themoviedb.org for each episode and will continue to do so. I can't be bothered adding thumbnails but I do enter descriptions of the episodes. The problem is the sources keep pulling Dragons' Den UK. Took me a bit a playing around but I finally figured out if I use a Rescrape menu (any fork of Venom will... Source: 6 months ago
  • You like to follow filmmakers and don't want to miss their releases? So do I. That's why I built movienerd.tv (its free!)
    Movienerd features over 3 Mio. International filmmakers you may browse through and follow. As other services like letterboxd and trakt do, I access the database of themoviedb.org, hence the pool of available actors, directors, editors, composers, screenwriters, make-up artists and more is huge! As soon as you follow at least one filmmaker, your radar feed displays you automatically past and upcoming releases, that... Source: 9 months ago
  • Website or Tracker to get untouched/uncompressed movie posters?
    Fanart.tv, themoviedb.org, thetvdb.com will have artwork for TV shows and movies at pretty good quality. Source: 10 months ago
  • How to name single episodes, specifically natgeo
    First, read through the naming guidelines to see how Plex expects shows/episodes to be named and organized. Then, you can look at TVDB/TMDB to see what episodes your files can actually be matched against:. Source: 10 months ago
  • Infuse remote
    For Infuse you need to use the naming convention it expects. I believe it uses themoviedb.org so if you search the filename on there and it’s not coming back as the first search result, Infuse will get confused. Source: 10 months ago
