Live Poll: Your Least Favorite Movie of the IMDb Top 26-250

@cinephile 

Thank you for your thoughts. I think your view on it is totally right. I discussed it at home and a new idea grew. We came to the idea to enhance it to the top 100, which might last longer than the Top 250 - and it's more tightly structured then. Since the oscar ceremony happened recently, there will ("hopefully for this idea") be no entrances in the top 100 list for the foreseeable future.  We made up a new idea about a fifth poll suggestion, based on that 4. I would like to claim that. It's a special idea.

For the fifth poll I just need (then) an exact date when I should start counting the positions to complete it. All of them have to be evaluated at an fixed date like stated in the 5th poll to be fair to all candidates on it. If this idea is accepted, it all best happens before middle of June, because I'm heading to stay some time at a health resort in June. No internet, no mail, no stress, no contact. If not, it can also happen later in July, when I came back here.

I corrected it. Thank you for your interest in it. I made it up fast today to not let expire the idea. I will also correct the other parts, it's the same by copy and paste. The one of "Part 1" now is in the link, too. You underlined it, should I underline it, too?

Hi Pencho15. When the poll series goes live, you can vote so.

@dan_dassow 

Thank you, Dan. Thank you fellows. I'm very curios.

@rubyfruit76 

Done.

@rubyfruit76 

Its good that I stated a special date the list was taken. It changed in many ways from that point on. The first change I saw was that 'Rear Window' and 'Cinema Paradiso' changed their place. 'Rear Window climbed up one count and 'Cinema Paradiso' got down one count. And a few other changes I guess in the numbers from 76 to 100 there will be totally different numbers. Even in the lower places of the top 25 there happen little changes. I will keep that in mind, if I would start such a project again. It's better to be discussed more precisely before, I see. ;) The fixed date is a good anchor.

@Breumaster 

Yeah, the Top 250 is funny (and kind of fascinating) that way. It's interesting that even some very old movies can change places sometimes, occasionally even when a new movie hasn't caused that change. "A good anchor" is such a good way of describing the noting of a fixed date! 

@rubyfruit76 

Thank you, Ruby. Thank you, buddies. I'll change the 2nd part (link) immediately.

@Peter_pbn 

Thank you for reminding me, Peter. I've made the edits. The "conclusion"-poll-idea is just an option. I think it would complete the whole competition of the list. The first 4 polls are just a pre-selection. They show up the least hated movies of the Top100 on May 10, 2021. So far so good. When we take the last 5 of every poll and make agian a least hated poll, then at the bottom there are the movies, which really no one want's to get from the list. It's a vice-versa-thing. That's why it is very interesting. The changes of the other lists after the going live of the 5th list don't affect the 5th list, but tell us how the audience changes over the years. It's a very long time project within 5 polls. Even now there are new insights.

@Peter_pbn 

I know there should be a few changes. We can change the waiting time. That's no problem. When I go to my health resort, I can wait 5-6 weeks for the last poll. For me that is no prob. We can do a title change, if the title isn't the best for the subject. I would pick the last 5 (Position 25, 24, 23, 22 and 21) of each of the 4 polls. And I know there can be complaints about picking the last five, especially when position 20, 21, 22, 23, ... have the same result. If there are same results within the last 5 positions, I would let it stay, except (e.g.) from the position 23 to (in the extreme case) position 10 have the same voting-result. In that case I would take the number of ratings a second criterion for picking the options. We can explain that in the optional 5th poll, on which criteria the picks were chosen. The pre-selection I wrote to the example-list have to be changed and I can add in the options which criteria were decisive to take the pick on it's position in the optional-poll. It sounds more complex than it is. It's simply categorical selection by taking facts on a special time stamp. That's much work for me on one day, but I would do that, if it is useful. For the formulations ... it could be helpful to have a helping hand. So it will become a special nice community project. ;)

@Peter_pbn 

Thank you, Peter. Thank you fellows.

Now it's crystal clear that an eventually Part 5 wouldn't go online before mid to end of July. I think that the time is too short for a correct result collection until I'm back. I would set it temporarily to 07/24/2021. Meanwhil, I will work on the lists design. You can look at it from time to time. It surely would need a few corrections shortly before. Thank you for believing in the idea with these polls. Let's see how it will turn out further. I hope Part 4 is a big success like the other 3 lists. ;) But it looks good by now. :D

Changed the title to:

The Least Hated Movie of the IMDb Top 100

This new title may confuse some veteran voters since a poll is already named Least Hated Top 250 Movies.

We changed the whole idea a few weeks ago. The Top 250 aren't the subject anymore. It's  concentrated on the Top 100 since then. but maybe you have a better fitting title I could consider? It should be concentrated on the whole idea, which is a sieving-construct. It sieves the least hated from the top 100, based on the four former polls. I know the idea is a little twisted, but effective. ;)
