A brand new website has been making waves as of late, and the time has come to spread the word of its existence. The website is called Flickchart and was created by Nathan Chase and Jeremy Thompson. In just its early stages, it has quickly abducted the hands of some of the ‘nets biggest movie geeks with the subtle begging for just one more click of your mouse; followed by another…and then just one more. Before you know it, you’ve chosen thousands of movies over thousands of others, and your mouse is a melted, warped plastic blob.
Basically, Flickchart is a new kind of social networking for movie fanatics. The site presents you with two movies and you simply choose one. However, as you do this more and more times, you repeatedly discover yourself in a vicious stalemate with your own personal preferences. While many of these selections can be incredibly painful to break through, there is also another catch: every single time that you click, your stats are calculated, and eventually, you will build your very own ultimate top 20 movies list.
For someone like myself, it has always been unbelievably challenging to choose even a top 10 favorite films. There are plenty that I know are up there, but there is also many that are interchangeable and just depend upon the day that you ask me. With Flickchart, you’re forced to choose between these tough calls, and thus, you will eventually discover your ultimate favorite films list whether you know it already or not. Yes, nothing is really final, and down the road you may choose another to take a spot in your list; but a lot of time may pass and it is not always so easy as just changing your mind.
Click on over to see a great trailer for the site created by Flickchart co-creator Nathan Chase; as well as get information on how you can get in on this tortuous bliss, and see where my own personal top 20 stands.
