I'd be glad to participate if someone could advise how to get this data.
"I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…
Rapture."

3. How many different countries of origin do you have?
21

4. What are your top three genres?
First genre: Action (70), Anime (52), Sci-Fi (51); All genres: Action (113), Sci-Fi (97), Comedy (91)

5. What are your top three studios?
First Studio: 20th Century Fox (13), Warner Bros. (12), tied Warner Bros. Pictures/Cosgrove Hall Productions (11) (CG is Danger Mouse DVDs, which have subprofiles).

6. What are your most common ratings?
M (142), MA15+ (96), PG (87) (PG is a combination of Australian and US PG rating).

7. Who are your top three actors?
Jet Li (16) (some double-dipping), Jean-Claude Van Damme (13), Yu Asakawa (10) (Voice actor on Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 and Boogiepop Phantom)

8. Who are your top three directors?

12. What is, in your estimation, your most obscure movie?
Probably Woodenhead, a New Zealand indy film.  The director claims to have been told by angelic versions of Milli Vanilli to shoot the dialogue first, then make the film.  Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space is also worth mentioning, as is my set of Grasshoppa! DVDs which contain strange short films.  But really, there are so many.  I think in most collections, Mataku (NZ supernatural anthology), Nirvana (Italian Sci-fi), G.O.R.A. (Turkish Sci-fi/comedy), QuaqQuao and many others would be most obscure, but in my collection they have to settle for Top 10.

How does that tell me what movie is the oldest? All it pulls up is the year.

Ah, sorry. For the year you can just add Production Year as one of the columns in your main listing, and then simply sort by year. If you have more than one movie from the same year I guess you're gonna have to do some Googling.
