Have you considered trying to work with Rotten Tomatoes? This kind of functionality should really be built into the site. They actually have top X of each year by category pages, but the categories and years are hard-coded to single values, don't allow drop-down filtering, and don't allow ranges. On the other hand, their rankings are more reliable because they adjust raw scores by factors like the number of reviews and ranking of the critics giving the reviews. You might consider doing something similar if you can scrape that information as well.
- hauxir 5y agoAbsolutely agree that it should be built into the site. The whole reason I created this was because I was frustrated using their UI while searching for something to watch last Saturday and ended up creating this. Agree that the scores could be more accurate, right now it just takes the scores as is, but I guess that can be improved upon by weighing number of reviews and ranking as you said.
