IMDb have revealed a bunch of their top 10 most viewed movies, actors and tv show pages from the past ten years as a way of celebrating a decade of their industry database IMDBb Pro. The stats make for some interesting reading. According to IMDb,
Christopher Nolan's uber popular 2008 film
The Dark Knight has garnered the most page views in the past decade out of the thousands of movies on their site. At one point of course fan voting on the page was so high-scoring and frantic that for a brief while The Dark Knight was listed first on their Top 250 films of all time user rated list, though currently it lies at no. 8. Second on the film list, probably from viewers trying to work out just what the hell the film was about is
Richard Kelly's 2001 cult movie
Donnie Darko.
Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction is the only movie from the 90's listed in the top ten at number 3, with the list then mostly going into franchise territory with
The Lord of the Ring films, Twilight and
Harry Potter's. Somehow
Avatar, which is far and away the biggest movie of all time, hasn't made it onto the list... but I guess it hasn't existed that long to rack up page views (though The Dark Knight isn't much older and is in first!). As for the actors/actresses' list,
Johnny Depp is the highest male at first, followed by couple
Brad Pitt and
Angelina Jolie.
Lost unsurprisingly tops the TV list and The Dark Knight Rises the in-production list, but strangely
Men in Black 3 is second and beating out
The Avengers! The full list of IMDB top 10 most viewed is below; Top Stars of the Last 10 Years: 1. Johnny Depp 2. Brad Pitt 3. Angelina Jolie 4. Tom Cruise 5. Natalie Portman 6. Christian Bale 7.
