Why I hate the IMDB Top 250

The Top 250 is so partial towards new moovies. Basically, people are going out & seeing movies & then coming to IMDB & voting on them. If they really like the movie it's getting a bunch of very good votes, and 2 weeks after it was released it's on the Top 250. That's all because IMDB has a ton of users these days.

But of course IMDB didn't exist in 1979. So, the only people who are rating movies such as Breaking Away are people who have maintained a personal connection to it over the past 28 years - or maybe somebody who just so happened to catch it on cable recently. However, if this same exact movie was released in 2007, it would have shot right into the Top 250 within a month of its released - just like movies such as Little Miss Sunshine, Walk The Line, or Finding Neverland.
