Which movies have you seen?

Why doesn’t the table go ahead and give you figures, like how many you’ve watched or not? And since there’s a “Hated It!” field, why isn’t there also an “Adored It!” column?

How did the IMDB choose the top 100, anyway? A vote? Are those the most popular, or are they supposed to be the “best” in terms of quality? I suppose I could find some sort of explanation if I bothered to go look at their site.

Yes, I had to clean up the HTML. I couldn’t help it.
