Poll Suggestions (1 Live, 2 Pending): IMDb Tourism

Hi Rocky,

love this idea...

Thank you.

would you mean to visit at the time the movie takes place or current day...

At the time of the movie took place.

'star wars world'...is it dagoba or the planet hoth or where...

All the places that have been shown in SW movies are included in that 'Tour Package Plan'.

one for imaginary places...the other for real places...

Thank for the suggestion. At this time I'll need some time to think about that.

Jen,

Thank you so much for your great suggestions.

There's no apostrophe in Bates Motel.
Back to the Future also went to the past - I'd add that  - "the past or the future".
Gladiator should be "Ancient Rome" - Gladiator is not a place.
Lawrence of Arabia is in Arabia, not Arab.

I have fixed this all. Thank you.

many of these I personally don't think people would want to go (mental hospital, jail, POW camp).

Jen, I think you misread my question. I meant to say - the particular place or the particular time as shown on those movies. For example - #10 'Mental Institution', not just any MI, but the particular MI as shown on 'One Flew...' etc.

There are many suggestions to be made, but I don't want to take the time if you won't consider them.

Thank you, but I can do that. You don't have to waste your time. I'll create the 2nd list after this poll goes live.

Just a request - Can you please provide me a better question so that people can clearly understand what I am talking about in the poll, like "the time and the place as shown in the movie...".

I'll consider the question. I don't care *which* POW camp it is from any movie, I (and I'm pretty many others) would not want to go there.

In general I feel like the premise of this suggestion is just way too wide - there are millions and millions of locations from films someone *would* want to visit... You need to narrow the parameters.

Jen,

In general I feel like the premise of this suggestion is just way too wide - there are millions and millions of locations from films someone *would* want to visit... You need to narrow the parameters.

That is why I am concentrating only the movies of IMDb Top 250 at this time. My question says - "Which of these fictional or real places with respect to the time as shown on IMDb's most popular top rated movies of all time, would you most like to visit?"

 I don't care *which* POW camp it is from any movie, I (and I'm pretty many others) would not want to go there.

The POW camp as shown on 'The Great Escape' is now a museum, a great tourist place. Please see here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_Luft_III

That's a museum, great. Are you basing this on places you can now visit?

Jen,

My poll is mixed with both real and fictional places. The real places you can visit, but for fun I am asking "the place with respect to the time as shown on the movie". What do you think about the idea?

Lusi,

Thank you!

Elmo,

Thanks for your reply.

I have decided to make this poll to promote both the fictional and real places as shown on IMDb's top rated widely popular movies (Top 250). There is going to be one or two more lists on this. But, I'll make those after seeing the voters' response in this poll. 

Would you mind if I make later a poll about movies that promoted existing places in the world?

I have included some of the existing places. Actually, I was thinking to make this a two-part poll - one for real place another for fictional place. Before that I'll discuss with the poll admins about that.

At this moment I would like to request you to please let me make the suggestion.

Rocky,

Please tell me which part you are not getting.

I am referring to the places also with respect to the time as shown on those movies. Here are some examples:

1. #4 River Kwai - The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Place - River Kwai
Time - At the time of making of the Burma Railway bridge

2. #7 Nazi Concentration Camps in Poland During WWII - Schindler's List.


Place - Nazi Concentration Camps in Poland
Time - During WWII

etc.

I am thinking to discuss about it with our senior poll admins.

o.k....cool...

so what you are saying is to actually be there at the time presented in the movie, not now when it may have became a museum or tourist destination or something to that effect...
 
got it...thanx for the clarification...

Rocky,

Yes, at the time which is shown in the movie.

Dear Pibby,

Thank you.

I have changed the question too:

Which of these fictional or real places from IMDb's top rated movies would you most like to visit? You would be visiting at the time which is shown in the movie.

The 2nd part list is ready and I'll have to do another (3rd) list to complete all the memorable places as shown in the IMDb Top 250 movies.

You can see my 2nd list here >> http://www.imdb.com/list/ls069361276/#1

Some people like to visit historical sites such as concentration camps, but it's true that visiting them while they were in use is a different story (and could hardly be called tourism).

Pibby,

Can you please provide me a better way to represent this poll?

My intention was to make this poll more interesting by adding the time frame under each option. The time which was represented in those top rated movies.

I'm not sure. If you decide to divide the list into real and fictional places, you could also have different criteria or questions. But it's up to you.

Present day Holocaust Memorials and concentration camps in Germany. Used as tourist destination.

DC,

I agree with txy that the option of visiting a concentration camp in operation is inappropriate, and I apologize for not realizing it sooner.

Since you stated "You would be visiting at the time which is shown in the movie", and since the option still has zero votes, it may be best to replace it.

Gigi,

I have asked for a re-push at poll re-push thread.

Re-push done.

Gigi,

I made this 'IMDb Tourism' project to highlight on the IMDb Top 250 Movies only at this primary stage. And in this 3 lists, I have covered the whole Top 250 list (using the movies where a particular place is shown on that movie).

Now, for options #31, #33 and #34 there are three different places have been shown.

Specially option #31, I can't remove. Because The POW camp as shown on 'The Great Escape' is now a museum, a great tourist place. Please see here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_Luft_III

Also, option #34, this is the hotel in present time - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_des_Mille_Collines  known as Hôtel des Mille Collines.

Most of these are all popular tourist places. And I added the "You would be visiting at the time which is shown in the movie" part to bring some adventure feeling on the tour...!!!

But you're contradicting yourself.
It doesn't matter if they are popular tourist places now, since we will be visiting at the time shown in the film.

Besides, witnessing war and suffering can hardly be called an adventure.

Also, you already had to remove one option last week, so you should consider how the options might look to others.

You could just move some options from list 3 to list 2.

Pibby,

That was a 'concentration camp' option. More sensitive issue.

I am sorry. I can not remove any options from the current list.

Rwanda experienced a genocide which is sometimes compared to the Holocaust.

Replaced that option with:

The World of 'Blade Runner' - The 'Blade Runner' Franchise.
