I understand what you're saying and you are right, but still, some choice are odd even for teenagers. And you are right, yet again, to say it is the most viewed list, I think it is explained in the article, as well!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-31095687957100065722012-01-31T18:26:05.149+00:002012-01-31T18:26:05.149+00:00I've been on IMDB since 1997. What you have t...I've been on IMDB since 1997. What you have to understand about the site is that it is used far more by males than by females. In the last five years or so, that has skewed even more to teen males. (The Top 250 list dominated by movies that appeal to this segment - Fight Club, Dark Knight, etc. - is one proof of this.)<br /><br />Some people seem to be misunderstanding what these lists are. They are not "best of" lists; they are "most viewed" lists. In other words, these are the top 10 people, movies, etc that IMDB users looked up.<br /><br />Males in general, and teen males in particular, would probably cut off a finger rather than search IMDB for Robert Pattinson, so him not being on the list is not a surprise. Downey, Jr. and Clooney appeal to a little bit older demographic.<br /><br />Donnie Darko is a good movie, that received a lot of it's attention from the fact that it appeared on the IMDB Top 250 list years ago, which was the first most people had ever heard of it. This caused them to look into it more, which caused it to be the second most searched for movie on the site.<br /><br />For all the other lists, also see them through the prism of young males and the lists make sense.<br /><br />Spirited Away is a very good film. I would definitely recommend it.<br /><br />Thanks for the lists. I had not run across these yet.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-78849288645707323312012-01-31T09:16:46.402+00:002012-01-31T09:16:46.402+00:00@Castor: I understand the presence of Natalie Port...@Castor: I understand the presence of Natalie Portman in the top, because you are right about Star Wars plus she had Black Swan. Also, I added Spirited Away to my very long To See list, thanks! :)<br />@Max: Yeah, I heard it is pretty controversial and the story is weird! Still, it is on my list!

Same w/ the anticipated list... G.I. Joe: Retaliation?? The Expendables 2?? Battleship?? Huh?? I'd never see any of those even if you pay me.<br /><br />And yeah, I'm puzzled by Aniston's popularity but it seems like whenever there's Jolie's name, she's not far behind, maybe it's just people's obsession about their rivalry??

Donnie Darko may be that popular because of Gyllenhaal and many people looking for answers about this movie on the message boards.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.com
