Top 100 Movies of all Time - Integrate List?

[ttonyan10]

Would it be a. possible and b. fun to integrate this list into our site? Maybe we could make some sort of system to check off the movies from this list that the club has watched? Or maybe there is a better list? Just a thought.

This is definitely possible. I'm curious if showing this list to the club members would influence them to try and pick other movies off the list. Still, I think this is a cool idea worth exploring.

We talked about pulling information from IMDB. There's this API that we could use to get both IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes ratings for movies. An example of the response is here:

Among other things, we could show our movie history, sorted by several different ratings... perhaps including the rating given by club members at some point.

IMDB also has a list of the 250 highest rated movies.

I was also wondering how people would react/utilize the list... I don't want to curb anyones creativity.

This API is fantastic! I love that it gives you the movie poster!! lol

The lists page on iCheckMovies is also a good resource.
