r/imdb

Is there anyway to download imdb data / is there a database of all the movies (or at least movies since like the 2000s) on imdb? Specifically I'm trying to make a sheet with the movies and other info: ratings (score distribution and average), genre, year released, etc. I would love to be able to copy the data into google sheets / excel. If not, is there any other site that could help me with this?

It sucks. It makes me not even want to look up what I was curious about, and it makes me not want to use IMDb anymore.

They are so horribly common these days. Whether it’s fandom wars, hatred for new movies or shows, it’s happening absolutely everywhere and it’s completely discrediting the accuracy of pretty much all ratings sites. IMDb very much included. It’s a real shame as it used to be a nicely measured and generally fair site but it’s like every time I click on anything and scroll down to the ratings nowadays, there’s just an absolutely enormous spike of one star ratings often combated by a large spike of tens with little to no numbers in the middle. It’s just fuelling internet hatred and “validating” negativity. Things like this really need moderated or ratings sites are going to die out entirely and start being taken less seriously than they are even now.

If I didn’t want a credit to be on my imdb, would a request to IMDb have to be approved by the projects production team?

I’ve done it a few times over the years, but now wonder if the projects account is notified- which could be a bit awkward to be told someone doesn’t want to be associated with their project.

I was perusing through Tilda Swinton's IMDb profile and I noticed that the list of movies on her "known for" section are relatively low profile movies when compared to some of the many Heavy Hitters that she's been in. I was really surprised. ​ Especially considering​ the fact that she had a leading role in a Marvel movie, those typically end up on actors' "known for" list. But there are plenty of other films I would say she's more well known for than the ones listed. What gives? Why is it like that for her?

I made it a habit to mark every movie I've watched as 'Watched' since that feature became available. Before that I'd flag the movie as 'Added to Watchlist'. Well I just upgraded my phone and when I installed IMDb and logged on, lo and behold....no movies are flagged!?!

Has anyone else encountered this? I relogged on to my new phone on Monday, so I'm thinking it's been a couple days and any type of system sync should of happened...if it's that sophisticated....

I submitted feedback to IDMb about this and got a canned response to go to Reddit forums 😵‍💫

When I think of all the time I wasted doing this...

Probably got rid of it but is it possible that it's archived somewhere else?
