Hamilton is not a movie and shouldn't be on top 250.
Hamilton is not a movie. It is a capture of a live performance, like films about rock concerts or stand-up shows. Despite the good reviews it will not be nominated for any Academy Award because, again, it is not a movie. It shouldn't be on top 250 alongside real movies like The Godfather or Ci

Review Deleted - Why?
#210413-202156-695504 I could guess what the supposed reason for deletion here is, if indeed any IMDb staff person actually read it, but it'd be nonsense, and I'd rather Michelle or someone actually read it and could cite any violation. Thanks. I'm tired of these unaccountable review rejections,

Contributions banned for life?

Would IMDB like to be the primary website for people attending the Toronto Film Festival?
You could skyrocket traffic for your TIFF 2024 page if you would make the movies filterable by program and include some additional data for the entries. What people want to know right away about each movie without having to open multiple pages: The distributor (so you know if it’s a stream
