Ratings: Increase the number of ratings required for the Top 250

recently my friend and I started a long path of getting all IMDb badges for Top 250 and Oscars, along the way we came to a conclusion that 25k ratings, which qualify a movie to be on the list, is much too small of a figure. IMDb page is too popular for those kind of numbers and this way movies that have no business being there end up on the Top 250 lists. I just had to sit and suffer through 1975 Turkish movie and an 6-hour long and slow Italian death. Those types of movies end up on the lists only because a relatively small number of people watch it and praise it. at least 50 or 75k ratings would be much more representative
