Rankings for official checks vs. total checks

[esiersdale]

Unofficial: #1139 with 2528 total checks
Official: #679 with 1863 official checks

73% official, one of the higher spreads as its a 460 spot difference. I blame the 1001 TSBYD since it counts for almost half of my total official checks.

[Clogston]

Official - ranked 1849 with 1289 official checks
Unofficial - ranked 2636 with 1758 total checks

Almost 3/4s official. A lot of the disparity with mine comes from the awful stuff I'd go to see or watch on cable when I was a kid or in high school (it's not like I knew better at 11 when my parents brought me to see Mighty Joe Young). Having watched almost every Godzilla movie in existence when I was 10 helped a bit also.

When I started this thread, I stated that my gap between official checks/all checks rankings was 78. Now it's down to 61. I guess I must be marking more unofficial checks lately.

You could also try not counting people who've gone dark.

[Onderhond]

Unofficial: #260 with 4940 total checks
Official: #1185 with 1592 official checks

(almost) no TV stuff (maybe 3 series in total, no episode checks). Only 32% of my checks are official checks.

[Lammetje]

Official: #4754 (930 official checks)
Unofficial: #3666 (1601 total checks)

I have checked 126 TV Series, but no episodes.

[Llanirev]

Official: #844 (1809 checks)
Unofficial: #418 (4027 checks)

I guess my Official/Unofficial rate will stay below 50% until I've seen all Bugs Bunny shorts ;)

[Lonewolf2003]

How do I get my unofficial ranking?

[Gershwin]

Look up your total number of checks, then browse through the profile charts sorted by #checks until you found the page that you're at.

For example, I'm on the 41th page, which is 'Showing items 1001 – 1025 of 154180', at the 11th place. That means my unofficial ranking is #1011.

[Lonewolf2003]

Thanks. And to 3rd as well for his pm

Official: #639 (1994 checks)
Unofficial: #546 (3598 checks)

I don't vote for tv-episodes on imdb, but I do for tv-serie. But the main difference probably is due to a lot of 2000s-2010s movies that aren't in any official lists.

[Harco]

Official: #1421 (1421 top list checks - yes, it's true);
Unofficial: #1977 (2002 total checks).

Official: #1017 (1688 top list checks);
Unofficial: #1525 (2352 total checks).

Would have expected to have penetrated the top 1000 by now. But then again, I've had some periods of little activity. World Cup isn't helping out much either.

[esiersdale]

Official: #517 with 2138 Official Checks
Unofficial: #990 with 2825 Total Checks

Should drop off the Official chase once I crack the 500 barrier.

[Gershwin]

I just found out that I have 10,108 unseen top list entries. Way to go without watching unofficial films, I'd say.

12,463 official checks out there. Everyone has at least 5,000 left

If you watch one of those movie every day from now on, it will take you only 27 years and 8 months to see them all. ;)

Where and how do you see it btw?

My spreadsheet hadn't updated for a week. Still had you at 7,415. I'm like the NSA, I track you, just not efficiently.

I just went through the pages of unchecked films sorted by number of top list entries (putting p100, p200 etc. in the link, not by endlessly clicking"next") until I arrived at the first page with movies that aren't in any official top list. Then calculate it by last page number times 25, plus the few 1 list entries on the page that has both films that are on 1 and 0 official lists. So, I did it manually, but I guess there should be a quicker way.

Anyhow, there are 12,463 official checks, if Sander is right (I presume he is), so just subtract your official checks from that number and you've got it.

Why would you worry about multiplying by 25 when the bottom of the page always says something like "Showing items 3676-3700"?

Oh, I guess that's what I did, then. Didn't take the temie to verify how I had done it.

[tirefeet]

Way to go without watching unofficial films, I'd say.

I hope you don't take that approach. There are so many gems that fly under the radar which you can help become official by voting on such polls as <400 and DtC.

Brokenface has a cool list in which he compiled 100 of his unofficial favorites: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/100+ ... rokenface/

[Cippenham]

Also there must be a problem as rankings are not updating correctly.

Thanks. Did it the easy way: 12643-3604=8859 official checks left.

[Gershwin]

I'm afraid I have to correct you. You've got 3604 official and unofficial checks, but only 2024 top list checks. Way to go. ;)

why thank you that list is a couple of years old now. quite pleasing to see that nearly half of them (48/100) are now official checks

Yes, I scanned the list and was amazed to see how many are now official -- some even on two, three, or four lists!

Oh, sure, I don't mind if a film isn't on an official list, but I don't feel ashamed to watch mainly official checks, because there are just so many.

Actually four of my DtC nominations that made it weren't on an official list before, so I think it's clear I don't shy away from unofficial checks.

[Gershwin]

By the way: I've only seen ten from that list, but great films, BF.

I can't believe Escape from Alcatraz isn't in any lists.

[ormazd]

Has anyone else noticed non-official list checks sometimes mysteriously become unchecked? I just "rechecked" about 40 films.

Just guessing, but maybe these are films where duplicates (one checked, one unchecked) are merged ?

Haven't noticed any, although there have been some I forgot to check. If anything I have dozens of additional checks on ICM compared to compatible IMDb rated titles

[Ebbywebby]

[Me, in December 2013]
What is the gap between your ICM ranking for official checks than your ranking for total checks?

Currently, I'm 78 slots higher for official checks than for total checks.

I've been watching a lot of unofficial-check shorts during the past few months...I think my total-check rank is the highest it has ever been. So my gap is down to just 22 now.

[Torgo]

Official: #639 (1994 checks)
Unofficial: #546 (3598 checks)

(...) the main difference probably is due to a lot of 2000s-2010s movies that aren't in any official lists.

So, have you noticed any change since the adoption of the full 21 Century list?
