Regardless of what anyone may or may not think of the series finale : In my opinion,”Lost” is one of the best shows ever & definitely deserves its’ #1 spot on the list-definitely!! Thank you.
Agreed. Plus, the first season of LOST is still some of the best produced television out there.
I’m really glad to see Battleship on a list that does not include the word “Worst”.
I assume you mean Battlefield preceding Earth, which I didnt think was half bad!
Donnie Darko was the 3rd most searched?
Wonder how this list would differ if they didn’t count the searches of aspiring actors…
DD was the 2nd most. Either way, I share your surprise.
Struggling actors should be searching up-and-coming film actors and TV actors, not Depp and Jolie. It would be interesting to know how many non-industry subscribers there are to IMDBPro.
*Gina Carano is currently a top 10 searched “actress” on IMDBPro. Sigh…
The story does not explicitly say this is from IMDBPro, only that it is being released to publicize IMDBPro. The list must be the general site, especially given the results. You’d probably need to pay to see the top results for the Pro site, hah.
Very interesting about DOnnie Darko….so did Richard Kelly end up making any money off of it?
It’s amazing that Donnie Darko’s popularity and its revenue generating ability are so diametrically opposed.
I love the irony of The Godfather at number 10 of the Top 10 Films.
Also interesting that every modern decade is represented except the 80s.
It’s pretty obvious from these lists that the majority of Imdb users are males 15-30 yrs.
That’s always been obvious from the message boards.
I’m sooo glad for Johnny Depp..he is the NUMBER ONE on the list..AMAZING! I just love him and I wish the best and..only one question…where is POTC in the movie’s list? They did lot of money and the first one was so good,I like it all but you can chose one of all..
WHERE’S THE X-FILES???
Hummm, X-Files ended in 2002 so probably not many people clamoring for info on a show that’s 9 years old.
…Gossip Girl? Oy vey.
No Sopranos? Or Battlestar Galactica? Something fishy with that TV list.
It is most viewed. The Donnie Darko rating makes sense as after most people see the movie they rush to IMDb to figure out what the fuck the movie was about. Same goes for Lost. It’s MOST VIEWED. Not quality. READ…
This tv list is not complete without the Wire — the best show ever produced in the history of the medium. Period!
I think Dark Knight Rises and The avengers will be the years Hhest grossing movies.
Joss Whedon is a truly great writer who was treated awful by Fox during Firefly’s run. Dollhouse being an awful show was Fox’s fault.
Just look at how great Buffy and Angel were. Guy is a phenomenal writer.
I would liked to have seen how great Dollhouse’s original pilot was.
highest
Yeah how in the hell is MIB3 and Battleship more anticipated than the Avengers!?
Whats with The Avengers? That movie was FUCKING AWFUL! Why would they remake THAT, only because it was so bloody brutal?
It’s not based on that Avengers movie; it’s based on a Marvel comic.
Men In Black III? Really???
