Top 500 Club

[xianjiro]

So, who else is in the Top 500 on every single list?

[Lammetje]

This thread needs a poll.

[Nathan Treadway]

Just what this forum needs.. Another pissing contest. ;)

That being said, nowhere near.

[Armoreska]

No, def not me. I'm in top 500 on only 75/181 lists

[Nathan Treadway]

I don't get it... You have over 35 thousand checks, and ranked 59th, yet only have 73 awards and have so few lists ranked in the top 500.

I'm ranked nowhere near you, yet, have over 100 lists in the top 500, and 90 something awards.

[sortile9io]

116/181, I'm not even in the Top 1000 oESL Club. So, how does it feel being an elite member of that top 0.01%?

[cinephage]

I'm only 2 lists away from entering the club, but I don't intend to work on either of the lists I'm under #500.

The ICM most checked and the All-time worldwide box office (though I got under 500 on this one) are filled with films of low interest.

I feel like watching the Da Vinci movies before trying to watch the upcoming Inferno, but I will give up if I don't like it... And this will not be sufficient to get me to the 500, so I'll live with it.

Maybe I'll watch Pocahontas sometime during an animation challenge...

Otherwise, it was one of my 2016 film-watching goal to get under 500 on all lists but for those two, and I reached it.

[Lammetje]

2/181

Edit: but I'm in the top 50,000 on each official list!

[tourdesb]

148/181.
Didn't think of it before this thread, but it might become one of my goals for 2017.

[xianjiro]

Poll: Yes, most definitely. What questions would you like asked?

Pissing contest? Hmmmm, think that belongs elsewhere. Monty? Wasn't my 'goal' at all here. Just thought it would be interesting to see who else is a member, wants to be, or is avoiding membership for reasons stated above.

Just a bit of fun. Though when I find other qualified members, we'll have to make up rules - maybe require the wearing of a fedora while watching Indiana Jones movies.

And, of course, there's always the 'new adoptions terror'! Will it kick members out of the club? (Or can members accept probationary status until they return to Top 500 on all lists?) We'll have to be supportive...

Oh, so much to worry about. We need club shirts... lol

[Gershwin]

Last time I looked it up: 91/181. But I'd like to get a top 500 ranking for most lists.

[pitn]

89/181

I mostly try for gold on lists I find really interesting, silver for the ones I find mildly interesting, bronze for the ones I feel I should really watch some more movies off. Don't care about the rest. Ranking mostly follow that pattern.

[clemmetarey]

32/181, including 3 platiniums.
And I'm in the top 39000 of every lists. I should try to get in every top 10000, I only have 12 lists to go, including the box office and most checked sadly.

A ton of fun movies on Most Checked
but Space Jam and Ocean's 12 could be a pain to sit through for platinum

[joachimt]

139/181
Even more than I expected. Since I joined iCM I have only "worked" on just a few big lists:
- 1001MYMSBYD
- TSPDT
- Rosenbaum
- Unesco
- By watching all FotWs and WCs I also worked on 500<400 quite a lot.
The rest of my progress is accidental......

......except for lots of shorts of course.

You're pretty close. Perhaps you should make this your next goal?

Maybe. It would mean getting out of my comfort-zone (whatever that is) to watch lots of mainstream and animated movies. Don't know if I'm up for it, but it's not a bad thing to do once in a while.

Wasn't a big fan of ocean 11, and I haven't heard great things about 12. At least most of the most checked are on the box office list as well.

[Tasselfoot]

148/181. TSZDT would be by far the hardest, though. 173 checks away. 2 Noir lists are 8 and 25 away. Box Office is 17. Action 12. 21 Century 40.

About half are 1-3 away, though.

[Cippenham]

11 lists not in top 500, not working on obscure countries lists, but also not that keen on Action films, so not in top 500 or horror so not for Zombie but around 750 for that

[Local Hero -- aka MestnyiGeroi]

I don't see many recent films, especially the blockbusters, so I rank horribly on any list that features them. Also, I've been concentrating on just a dozen lists for a long time, so I didn't expect to do well, but I did better than expected: 102/181.

[WalterNeff]

167/181 - mostly country lists are missing.

[Fergenaprido]

19/181

Doubtful I will ever achieve this, and I'm 100% okay with that.

[PeacefulAnarchy]

179/181, Bollywood and Turkey missing but everything else is top 300 and my goal is top 200 club. There are a few people in the top 100 club, and that is quite impressive to me.

[allisoncm]

176/181
The ones I need to work on (but am not interested in focusing on) are:
iCheckMovies - Most Checked
All-Time Worldwide Box office
Adventure
50 Greatest Sequels
2010s

Since 4/5 are temporary lists, I suppose the lists could change.

[tommy_leazaq]

Wow, I'm top 500 in 55 lists. Pretty higher than what I imagined.

That looks exactly like my lowest-ranked-lists list.

not sure if everyone agrees what the 'obscure' country lists are, but I think I have less than five on a couple of those and am still in the top 500

will the insanity never stop?!?

[MMDan]

6 lists where I'm not in the top 500.

I jest. But, whatever. ;)

Finland is one ..yes that's right I could get there with a few, no plans to do so though.

[Leopardi]

I'm working on getting top 500 on each list for my film goal this year (see the Personal Film Goals for 2016 thread for progress details) - just five lists to go, seven films in total to see, so I should be a card-carrying member of the club by December!

[ChrisReynolds]

I'm top 500 in 36/181. I could probably increase that quickly by working through unchecked films sorted by most lists, but I'm busier focussing on a few individual lists for now.

My biggest deficit is with NYT's The Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made, where I need 220 checks to be in the top 500. Similar deficits for several of the top 1000 lists.

nice thing is there's plenty of overslop between the big lists - check one, check them all

I'm not even a member of the Top 50,000 Club!

He's already in that table.

I'm not even a member of the Top 50,000 Club!

But... do you really want to belong to a club that will accept people like you as a member? I will do another batch tomorrow.
