New Ranking Promotion Through the End of February 2011
ANOTHER PROMOTION!!
We are running another rankings promotion from January 10th through the end of February. We will be giving away four (4) more Amazon gift cards to certain members in a Rankings promotion during the rest of January and February. We loved all the activity during the promotion in November and again we hope to dramatically increase the number of rankings per category to benefit everybody looking to discover great movies.
This time around we are awarding the 4 gift cards to the members that rank the most additional categories (with at least 5 entries per category) during the promotion period. We have benchmarked the number of categories that each member has ranked so far and you can see those results after the main rules below. Prizes paid will be as follows:
First Place $40 Amazon gift card
Second Place $25 Amazon gift card
Third Place $15 Amazon gift card
Fourth Pace $10 Amazon gift card
Now there are a couple of rules you need to be aware of in the Promotion.
1. Only category rankings with at least 5 movies will be counted as a ranked category. We prefer that members fully rank a category with all of the movies they like that applies to a category, but you must have at least 5 valid movies in a ranking to be counted.
2. Your rankings will not count if it is clear that you are just randomly inputting movies or using the same movies on all your rankings just to increase the number of ranked categories. We understand rankings are subjective and we will allow latitude if it is clear you are making an effort to create actual rankings for each category, but we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to disqualify any member that we believe is trying to thwart the spirit of the contest to create bulk rankings with bogus rankings.
3. Rankings that are clearly copies of another member just to increase rankings will also be disqualified. That is not to say that you can't have the same rankings as another member because we know that will happen. But if all of your rankings appear to be simply copied from one or more members in order to quickly increase your total rankings, you run the risk of disqualification, again at our sole discretion. Bottom line, just make an honest and valid effort and you shouldn't run into trouble.
4. You do not need to be an existing member to participate, but you do need to register to become a member if you are not yet a member.
5. You still need to adhere to the normal Terms of Service of the site. So, please take a read through those Terms to avoid running the risk of disqualification or losing your account.
6. Several members that are affiliated with the site are not participating in the promotion and they include Tonto, brooklyn77, CallingDrBombay, Brewster, Roundersbuzz and Keysersoze.
7. Winners may not request substitutions of prize winnings. All winners are solely responsible for any and all taxes and/or fees as well as all additional costs that may be incurred.
8. In the event of a tie for any of potential prizes, the member with the most ranked categories will be deemed the winner.
9. See below for some additional contest terms.
Below we have included a benchmark of categories ranked by each member as of January 9th for calculating the results of the promotion. January 10th will be considered the first day of the Challenge and any rankings today will count toward the promotion.
So here are the number of ranked categories for members (with at least 5 ranked entries) as of the end of January 9th. All members not listed below or in Rule 6 above will be deemed to have one ranked category (when calculating the increment) as of the end of January 9th:

Introducing Composite Rankings!
We are introducing Composite Rankings for any category with at least five member-ranked lists. We already have over 20 categories with Composite Rankings.
The Composites are calculated using a weighted scale, meaning that if a movie is rated #1 on somebody's lists it is going to receive more points than a movie ranked #5 on the same or another list. So both the number of times a movie is ranked and the placement in the rankings are factors in determining the Composite Rank.
Here are the Composite Rankings for some of the most popular categories so far:
Comedies from the 80s - This golden age of the Comedy Movie yielded so many great movies that inevitably some really good movies get left of a list of the Top 30. The Top 5 on the Composite currently includes Caddyshack, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Blues Brothers, This is Spinal Tap and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Animated Films - Animated films are no longer just chidren's movies, adults love them too. Here are the Top 5 from the Composite for this popular category; Shrek, Up, Toy Story, Monsters Inc. and Wall-E.
Horror Comedy - Our growing list of movie blogger members created this category and have filled it with some outstanding ranked lists. Proving their deep knowledge of movies, the movie bloggers' have created lists with many interesting movies that I had never heard of such as Otis, Machine Girl and Idle Hands. The Top 5 on the list were Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Re-Animator, Scary Movie and Fido.
Musicals - I have to admit I was surprised by the popularity of this category, but that is part of the charm of the site; users decide what is popular. This category has an interesting blend of classic movies such as Singin in the Rain and newer cult classics such as Cannibal! The Musical. The Top 5 Composite Musicals are Singin in the Rain, My Fair Lady, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Band Wagon and The Sound of Music.
It will be fun to watch how these Composite Rankings change over time as more and more members rank the categories.
