Technical Suggestion: Sort Movies by Popularity

Hi,

I just noticed that there isn't any way to sort all movies by popularity.
The users of BA already can declare if they have watched a movie with the status "I've seen this". Is it possible to make a counter for every movie how many users have watched a movie and then sort the movies with that?
Another way could be to sort all movies by page views.

Greetings,
germanboy

You can sort by rating - which I accept isn't necessarily the same as popularity.

You can also see the top 15 movies by page views on the statistics page - although as acknowledged, this is biased towards movies that have been in the database longest.

I could look at how easy it is to extract the number of "I've seen this" or "I own this" entries for a movie. The only issue with this though is only about half a dozen people are making direct use of this feature, so I don't know how useful the results would be. Adding a review automatically shows up as you having seen it (unless you override the setting) but doesn't add a record to the database, so it would be a bit more complex to pull those numbers in as well.
