> Is there any way to extract movie ratings vs time from your data-set? I've subjectively noticed a few patterns in movie ratings, and would love to see quantitative confirmation. I'm not the OP, but I'm familiar with the data IMDb provides. The short answer to your question is: not easily. IMDb provides a plain text dump of a subset of their data here: ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/misc/movies/database/ --- it's updated (usually) once a week. So to get temporal data, I guess you'd have to track it yourself. However, diffs are provided for each data update: ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/pub/misc/movies/database/diffs/ It looks like this could give you temporal data at the granularity of once per week.
