Hi fellow cinephiles, I found an excellent site a few years ago that looks like TSPDT but, euh, in a more popular (or mainstream) format maybe. And they had a major update recently, so let me know what you think about it! Here's a link!

Phi Phenomenon Movie site
Re: Phi Phenomenon Movie site
Thanks for sharing! This seems like a good starting place for someone like me. I'm not exactly a cinephile, and some of the subtle filmmaking achievements in TSPDT's obscure top films are lost on me, so this seems more likely to appeal to my taste. A lot of my favorites rank higher here than they do there. This also seems like a list with a lot of culturally significant movies that are worth seeing for that purpose in addition to their quality.
Re: Phi Phenomenon Movie site
As I have noted several times in this forum, I've always had a fondness for Phi-Phenomenon, even though by any objective standard it's an almost-comically out-of-date website (even the creator acknowledges this in the latest update) and has some questionable-at-best methodology. But at the time I discovered it, it was the only movie website I knew of that aggregated extant greatest-film lists into a ranked list that went well beyond TSPDT's top 1,000, which was exactly what I was looking for at the time.
A few years later, I discovered Films101.com, which does a lot of the same things in a much more systematic and extensive (not to mention much more reader-friendly, and much more regularly-updated) way; but I will always have a soft spot for Phi-Phenomenon. This new update is the first one in almost four years, and it would not surprise me if it is the last.

Hello, Rita, and welcome to the forum!
Also, what are you talking about? The site works just fine. We just checked and had an all-around great and memorable experience.
