Can anyone recommend a good site for browsing films based on rating?
I love IMDB when I want to find info on a specific film but find it awful for browsing around for inspiration.
I'd love to be able to sort all films on IMDB by rating, genre etc to find films that meet a specific set of criteria:
i.e. rated greater than 7/10, less than 2 hours and in the drama genre, kind of thing.
Unless I'm doing it wrong I can't find a way of searching/filtering IMDB like this.

Just as a plug, me and a few buddies have set up a website doing short bloke-orientated reviews of both new and 'classic' films (I'm "The Hitman" being a tad follically challenged!). It's Wordpress-based, advert-free and not for profit. Open to ideas as to how to make it more user-friendly/useful. We've done >100 reviews so far.

ITV were showing The Island starring Michael Caine, at the weekend. This is a surprisingly brutal film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080934/

Has anyone seen or mentioned The Voices yet..?
What a very strange but very clever film. A completely different look at Mental illness and schizophrenia.
Also had me laughing out loud.
A 7/10 from me.
Bit late to the party, but I saw The Voices last weekend and really don't know what to make of it. The story just felt like it meandered with stuff happening for no reason. It's not that funny, and I never really felt sympathy with him, so I can't honestly say whether I enjoyed it or not. Felt like a mixture of Donnie Darko and Dexter, but with something lacking. Probably 5/10 from me. Just seemed to be missing something for me.What a very strange but very clever film. A completely different look at Mental illness and schizophrenia.
Also had me laughing out loud.
A 7/10 from me.

10/10 between the two of us then.
It burst my head and Mrs A nearly through the remote through the telly. Too complicated or we're a bit thick. Probably the latter.. SWoll said:

How I Live Now - A really good film about teenagers trying to survive a nuclear attack on the UK. Terrifying in places.
That sounds rather good. I normally hate stuff about teenagers. But I read the first paragraph of wiki (stopped there,no spoilers) and wouldn't mind watching that.Ali2202 said:
Thank the titty-fking-christ for your confirmation Swoll!! Honestly, I've been wandering about all day quite depressed at the thought that we're as dumb-as-fk....
It was REALLY awful.
Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting you aren't thick as fk, I just don't think being smart would have helped. It was REALLY awful.

The Honest trailer really is very good.
And I like the film.
If you like Honest Trailers I can also highly recommend Cinema Sins, Screen Junkies (especially the weekly Movie Fights show) and Schmoes Know. They do all have a habit of being rather 'Blockbuster' orientated but if you're a film geek (like me) you'll enjoy I'm sure.And I like the film.

Jeremy jahns, Chris stuckman and red letter media are all good reviewers as well. I trust their opinion more than most professional critics
I can't get on with Jahns style at all, too manic and over the top for me. Stuckman is OK if a little dull and nerdy. Best film reviewer on YT is still Kermode IMHO, not that i always agree with him.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
