What is Flickchart?
Flickchart is an online movie ranking website launched in 2009 that allows users to create personalized rankings of films. The site is built around a unique ranking algorithm that matches movies against each other in one-on-one comparisons.
Users are repeatedly presented with two random films from their watchlist and asked to choose which one they prefer. Over time, by rating many matchups, Flickchart forms a comprehensive ranking tailored to each user's taste. Users can also discover new movie recommendations based on their rankings and see how their taste compares with friends or the global Flickchart community.
In addition to the ranking functionality, Flickchart provides stats, lists, reviews and discussions about films. Users can create lists of movies like favorite directors or genres that auto-populate based on their preferences. There are also lists created by site editors or the Flickchart community. Users can leave reviews, participate in forums, blogs and user groups to discuss cinema.
Flickchart differentiates itself through this interactive ranking mechanism and focus on personalization. The site's algorithms leverage user ratings to offer personalized movie suggestions and rankings that reflect individual taste in films.
