I use twofifty.org to track my progress through the IMDb top 250 movie list. I've currently seen 71 out of the 250 films and am using this tool to manage my watchlist.
I built a replacement for the defunct twofifty.org to track my progress through the IMDb Top 250 list. It lets you mark movies as seen, track your score, and view recent additions. I also open-sourced the code.
I built a heatmap mapping IMDb ratings against vote counts to find movies I've missed. It helps me visualize popular high-rated outliers, track my viewing progress, and filter by genre to discover hidden gems outside the Top 250.
I downloaded the entire IMDb database to view offline using MovieDb software. I’m also using this local copy to track my progress as I work through watching every movie on the IMDb Top 250 list.

I used Excel to analyze the IMDb Top 250, identifying outliers in the correlation between ratings, vote counts, and release years. I found that popularity doesn't always match quality for classics like Seven Samurai or blockbusters like The Matrix.
