Carrie getting some much deserved attention. "Ms. Grimes is an Internet-age statistician, one of many who are changing the image of the profession as a place for dronish number nerds. They are finding themselves increasingly in demand — and even cool. “I keep saying that the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statisticians,” said Hal Varian, chief economist at Google. “And I’m not kidding.”"

Great article, but it left out that statisticians need some CS muscle to effectively operate on large scale data. It's the combination that make Carrie -- and others like her -- 'Internet-age' statisticians.

You have seen a lot of movies. I think my list is about 500 or so.

You already knew this. :p I'm pretty sure they're not all in there, either - I haven't gone all the way through my list to make sure they're ranked (or even in Flickchart's database). But some of the ones I do have ranked are shorts, which I don't count along with features on my personal lists. Though I'm thinking I should start.
- Jandy
We're just about to hit 25,000 total films in our database. There aren't too many relatively popular/available films we're still missing.

Dark Knight is the darkest Batman film ever shown. If you are a Batman comic book nerd, you'd understand.
- AJ Batac
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, A Clockwork Orange, Doctor Strangelove and Apocalypse Now.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Clearly the masses aren't Batman nerds, so it's something else. 'Dark' isn't really a qualitative value for a film. So still wondering...
- Christopher Galtenberg
'Dark' is a qualitative value for a film. Without it, there'd be no horror and violence on them.
- AJ Batac
I knew you would debate the term, shouldn't have written. It's not qualitative, objectively, because it's subjective. It wouldn't be dark at all to many horror film fans. The film wasn't dark at all in my mind, just cartoony nonsense. Don't take that personally. I'm just trying to find out why you found it to be a mandatory movie.
- Christopher Galtenberg
Personally, I found Batman Begins to be a much better movie.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Me too. Was wonderful.
- Christopher Galtenberg
You're right, every film is subjective. And no, I didn't take anything personally. We're cool. It's good to argue in a constructive way.

Some were already mentioned here, but here are a few directors' body of work....Stanley Kubrick (Clockwork Orange, 2001, Dr Strangelove) , Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa, Tootsie, The Interpreter), John Hughes (16 Candles, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller's Day Off) , Frank Capra (Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Meet John Doe, It's A Wonderful Life), and Akira Kurosowa (The Seven Samurai, Ran, After the Rain )

Good list, Thomas. Depressing how few films appear from the last 20 years.

If it had just been the first half of the film, it would be within the 200s spot for me. That last half is disgusting. Out of nowhere it turns from a jaded superhero flick (interesting) to a crap love story (uninteresting). Two different movies here, and the result is just plain not good.

Dogville was a stunner.
- Michael W. May
Dogville is simply the better movie. Not only is it ground-breaking but it feels like it was adapted from a short story written in 1850. Moulin Rouge had a lot of swooping camera shots and ridiculous melodrama.

Flickchart, Guy, Shevonne and Mark Trapp liked this
"Subtonix decided to create a map of the United States by pinpointing the movies which best represent each of the 50 states. For example, New Jersey is Clerks and Kansas is The Wizard of Oz. There will likely be some debate over some of these choices (is Fast Times at Ridgemont High the ultimate representation of California?) but it is an interesting concept none the less. It’s also interesting to note that more Coen Brothers films appear on the map than any other filmmaker."
- James Ferguson
from Bookmarklet
Seems like a "United States of Movies Map as someone from Hollywood Sees It" map. Besides the obvious slants like "Brokeback Mountain" for Wyoming, "Jesus Camp" for Missouri (and North Dakota), and "Deliverance" for Georgia, only people from the west coast would think the whole of New York, or heck, even New York City, is best represented by "Taxi Driver".
