I've seen 755/1000, 1384/2000, and 1905/3000. Somewhat amazingly, my avg percentiles hold steady at 37, 37, and 38. This indicates I'm not a huge fan on the whole, but of course the lists include a fair number of the cinema's finest achievements (Night of the Hunter, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Gremlins 2: The New Batch).
Really thought Gummo woulda been up there by now. Guess I still have some work to do.
I've been using IMDB since Shawshank had less than 100K votes. I think I might be old.
