I love movies. In fact, I just finished a Halloween double bill of the very tense Cold Prey, a Norwegian slasher film from 2006, and the Slot A-in-Tab B-but-stylish-and-somewhat-suspenseful 2009 remake of Friday the 13th.
I’d have a lot more time to watch movies if I hadn’t been seduced by Flickchart, mind you.
What is Flickchart you ask? Well according to the site’s FAQ page:
“Flickchart is a website that lets you:
- rank movies to create your own personal list of favorites by using the Flickchart matchup system
- become part of the Flickchart community and help decide what the “Best Films Of All Time”really are
- take part in discussions about particular pairs of movies
- view movie information, and its ranking statistics on Flickchart
- invite friends and make new ones that you can compare your taste in movies with
- view the definitive best-of lists that break down the top movies by popular choice, year, decade, genre, and coming soon: actor, director, and more”
At the time of the writing of this post (Sunday, 1 November @ 1:33 pm), Minority Report is My Top Movie of All Time…

and Predator is My Least Favourite Movie of All Time:

Now I wouldn’t agree with the ranking of either of those movies – I think they’re both great action films ( if forced to choose I would prefer Minority Report, mind you) – so it would seem that I need to spend more time ranking movies to develop a more accurate list. The site has well and truly sucked me in!
Enjoy… if you’re up for it!
