I know that there are other topics about this, but I thought I should start a new topic.

http://www.imdb.com/features/rto/2006/category/best_picture

Out of nowhere Star Wars has jumped from something like 9th place to beating Serenity out of 5th place!

If you can, please vote! I know these internet polls are kinda silly, but imdb.com is actually one of those few sites that I would look at to see if there were any good films I haven't seen yet, so lets give it a shot! :)

At this point we only need 6 votes to take 5th spot back.

Presumably you can't vote twice, otherwise I would :(

I'd vote. But I've already wasted mine (on Serenity).

I'm guessing that somewhere, on a board like this (but star wars related) someone made the same kind of plea for votes that you are doing now...

I was bad and added a few more accounts with other e-mail addresses. I hate doing that for these silly polls, but something weird is going on since just a few days ago Star Wars had 2000 less votes! :)

I think the ammount of rabid fans is simply a lot larger when it comes to SW. So if the news of a poll reached a larger SW-fans community I could easily see a jump like that happening... sadly.

I think you're right Kent! Especially since now SW is up by 24 votes versus the 5 or so when I started this thread. I guess it was nice while it lasted!

Thank you, I think that says enough about the truth content and sense of internet polls. Not that I would discourage anyone from voting though

lol... I know what ya mean, CBY. I usually don't give much interest in internet polls either except imdb is very popular. And if it helps I did not add 2 more accounts until SW jumped 5 places overnight. Not that that makes me "cheating" any better!

HEY, I'm a Star Wars fanboy! However, Serenity blows the prequels away. I'll give it my vote. ;)

I voted. Serenity rocks and George Lucas can't pick talent for @#$%.

As near as I can tell, you can vote as many times as you like. I just voted 23 times, myself. Maybe that's why all the dramatic swings.

Normally, I wouldn't encourage this sort of unethical behavior for the sake of an internet poll, but I'm sure there will be at least a few people checking out the results of these polls to figure out which movie to rent next. Let's play dirty!

By the by, does anyone know how often the poll is updated? I want to know if cheating works.

Aha - so you're right. You can vote >1 times.....

BUT "f you change your mind about what you voted for, you're welcome to vote as many times as you like (we will always use your most recent ballot)." :(

I went and voted.

It does say that you can vote as many times as you like but it ONLY COUNTS YOUR MOST RECENT BALLOT. So logging in repeatedly and voting doesn't change anything.
Looks like we are roughly 30 away from being back at number 5. So go register your other email addresses and get your friends to vote!

imdb took the link off the main page so I guess the poll is closing soon! Looks like Star Wars will remain in 5th place. Nice try all!
