All official checks filtering question.

[Mochard]

I am trying to list all official checks and then filter / sort them by runtimes but I can't seem to find a way! Is it even possible to filter by runtime? I can't seem to find a way that works.

The only thing I can think of doing is to export every list then remove duplicates and then I can sort by runtime.

If this is the only way then I'm asking if anyone happens to have already created a spreadsheet with all official checks on it that they are willing to share?

Or if anyone knows of something I am missing? It would be nice if rather than seeing all movies - you see all official movies as an option then you can sort by runtimes etc.

Exporting the lists doesn't show runtimes so that's out! Maybe an imdb list exists as that would have runtimes on if exported.

Thanks

What are you looking for?

If you're looking for shorts, joachimt and mjf314 are your best friends:
All Shorts on iCM Lists
Short features: official checks from 46 to 69 minutes

If you're looking for longs, I don't have that at my fingertips.

But more generally (and I'm speaking from memory, so forgive me if I'm wrong on details), there's no way to filter only official checks, and it's not possible to export ICM search results. Also, ICM has a list limit of 5000 titles, and there are ~17000+ official checks.

But in this respect, Tim2460 is your best friend:
Films on 3+ Official lists
Films on 2 Official lists
Films on 1 Official list p1
Films on 1 Official list p2

That distills all official checks down to four lists (data are updated monthly). If you want to do more from there, that's on you.

Using both icm and imdb export is indeed the way to go.

It's not that difficult but i have develop some excel skill over the years so enjoy :

Thank you guys so much.

Yeah i was fine for shorts - oh I didn't see mjf's short features though - thats cool.

Tim - I can't download your link atm as I'm at work (I shouldn't really be on this forum either but whatever!) but thank-you again. I really appreciate it. I'll grab it on my lunch.

Hot diggity damn... that's even better than I expected. Thanks for sharing!

There is also a less up to date 80 minutes list https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/offi ... adatriste/

It's not really JoachimT's or mjf314's short features list...it's mine. JoachimT started hosting it as a favor when non-paying users couldn't share multiple lists and, well, it has stayed that way.

I'm your best friend too.

Best friends all around!

But yeah - thanks for putting that together!

[joachimt]

Indeed. EbbyWebby keeps track of 46 to 69 minutes, but I update the list.
I keep track of 45 minutes and less, but mjf314 updates the list.
It's confusing, I know, but we're all best friends indeed.

[Tim2460]

Glad the excel is usefull !

So now I need to find some underappreciated newbie to mentor and host a list for.

Wondering about a different filter myself:
Is there an easy way to see which animes are official? I've already finished the Paste list, but I'm sure there are some official checks on other lists. All bright ideas are welcome

[blueboybob]

Closest you'll get is "animation" https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/?ta ... Aanimation

[Onderhond]

Good enough, only 9 pages of unchecked animation films, should be easy enough from there on. Thanks for the tip!

Actually, it's probably better to use the Beta version for this task, since genre tags stopped being added to films in the current version a few years ago, so any film recently imported to icm would not show up in that list. Try this: https://beta.icheckmovies.com/movies/un ... Aanimation

Sounds promising, but the beta.icheckmovies pages never load for me.

[Fergenaprido]

Strange. Well, I can't help you much there, then. I just checked manually, and it seems there are only 3 official animes from 2016 onwards that aren't on the Paste list, and I suspect you've already seen them or are aware of them:

https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/yor ... +yo+otome/
https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/tenki+no+ko/

There's also this list I found which may help guide you: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/500+ ... altoplists

Based on that one, I'm missing 3 official films. One of the wrong Harmageddon though (it lists a Finnish film), the other one is a Pokémon film and the final one Urotsukidoji ... I've seen that one before I started rating films, not sure if I should revisit.

Thanks for the tip though, handy list
