LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the enjoy-it-while-it-lasts dept.

Dwarf_Sibling writes "Hard to believe but with over 11,000 votes tallied LoTR:FoTR has displaced "The Godfather" as the highest rated movie at IMDB. Over time I'd guess this will fall lower, but this is an amazing accomplishment for a fantasy movie."

  1. Cool, but with a grain of salt. by sporty · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I talking to a secretary once and she wanted to know a url for something. I mentioned a tilde (~) in the address and she literally said, with honesty, "Oh, you are getting technical on me." Had to point out where the key was.

    Now, considering all the people who are "technical" plus all those who just happen to be on the web, is it too much of a surprise that LoTR could do this? I'll gladly go by ticket sales as an idicator vs imdb.com.

    And don't think about going by DVD or VHS sales. For some, that's "high tech" as well...
