Thirteenth Anniversary of the IMDb Poll

Friday, 4-September-2026 marks the 13th anniversary of the IMDb Polls. 🎉

Thank you to the more than 520 authors with published polls and more than 1000 people who suggested polls. This achievement is due to their creativity and effort of the thousands of IMDb users who vote in these polls. Thank you to all the poll board members, current and former.

Thank you Col Needham for trusting the IMDb user community to run the poll on a day to day basis.

Special thanks go to two members of IMDb’s technical staff who implemented the poll and provided guidance and technical support for the first two years. Thanks also go to the IMDb Editors and Engineering Staff, who have provided support and guidance on polls since June 2015. Also thanks to Michelle and other members IMDb Help Desk for their continued support. 

Thank you to BonaFideBOSS for implementing an amazing tool to search for existing polls and providing statistics on those polls: https://imdbstats.com/

Finally, thank you to the poll administrators: Dan, Rafael, ElMo, Jen, Peter, Jessica, Drevnibor, Rubyfruit, Pencho and urbanemovies.

We had our 16,000th poll, IMDb Poll Board Top Picks for 2025 (https://www.imdb.com/poll/0RWDnEtO-TgdQINXApMlyg/), go live on 15-March-2026. As of 4-September-2026, 16,552 polls from 525 authors had more than 23,152,839 votes. The 13th Anniversary Poll is Superhero That Would Likely Be an Annoying Roommate (https://www.imdb.com/poll/RpwkTlmlQoJxE8afBGysYA/).

Congratulations to you all.

🫡🎉

I have a suggestion for this anniversary:

The best poll from each year
"The poll that received the most votes from each the 13 year."

Then, vote for the best poll.

Happy Birtday to Us, Happy Birthday to Us! Happy Birthday, dear Poll-ies, Happy Birthday to Us!

I had my first successful idea launched on Friday, January 12th, 2018 - after pulling out a huge ammont of totally ridiculous BS English. But I was proud as hell. That was on 2018/02/04, a Sunday. So I had the full day time to enjoy myself. :D

Since then I had fever in it and tried harder and harder. I was like addicted. Went through a journey of orientation in a forrest full of mirrors. I learned ... sometimes hard. Finding the right words is often still difficult for me, but I do with all options I can reach. A master of improvisation, not only a Breu ... errr ... Bro. :D With a little help of my friends:

So I'm active since close to eight and a half years. I'm user on IMDb since about September 2012. Breuwife even earlier. But she supports me in nearly each poll, gives many ideasl and even though she isn't on the pollboard, she knows my "yays" and "f*cks" with it. ;)

@Breumaster

Now I wish that my first poll had nearly 2500 votes, lol. I felt the same about my first poll (Face-Off: 'The Lord of the Rings' vs. 'Game of Thrones' vs. 'Harry Potter'), which is still somewhat successful for today's standards. But my best poll has around 1260 votes. It got featured, somehow. I was so baffled when that happened, I was on a holiday in Greece and just returned from the beach, when a pleasant surprise came up ;). Even though that was only a month ago, I still don't know how it got featured, since new authors don't get featured polls very often! 

Well, it's time to tell funny stories, isn't it? It is the 13th anniversary of IMDb Poll. ;D

Also, the irony of this is that we are celebrating the 13th anniversary of IMDb Poll, but 13 is the number of bad luck. And indeed, the polls had the least votes this year.

If bad luck hisses at you, roar back!
