Thanks. I'm addicted now.

I made the fatal mistake of reading a blog from The Cranky Conservative about his new favorite time-waster, and now it's one of mine. So since I fully believe in the concept of paying it forward, I now provide it to you.  It's called Flickchart, and you use the site to rank your favorite movies. What it does is give you two movies to choose from at a time, and you pick the one you like more.

So far I've compared 505 movies and given a total of 1,882 rankings. According to the site here are my top 20 movies:

1. The Godfather
2. National Lampoon's Animal House
   
3. The Empire Strikes Back
   
4. High Fidelity
5. The Godfather Part II
   
6. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
   
7. The Manchurian Candidate
   
8. Adaptation
9. Cold Mountain
10. Ben-Hur
11. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
    
12. Rocky
13. The Usual Suspects
14. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    
15. Taxi Driver
16. Star Wars
17. Blazing Saddles
18. 12 Angry Men
19. Being John Malkovich
20. Gladiator

Overall it's not exactly how I would rank my top 20. The Manchurian Candidate would be #1, Citizen Kane would be in the top 5, and Adaptation wouldn't be in the top 40. Still, for a web site it does a decent job.

Happy wasting time!
