Can't all of us just stage a coup and weed out all these Turkish, Indian and Russian turds that are polluting every list. Let's all go and vote 1 on IMDB. I figure if at least 500 of us do this it might do some serious damage. I mean after all it's only fair, these ratings certainly don't reflect the quality of those movies. I think it would balance things out.
P.S. I love "good" Russian, Indian and Turkish films.
It's sad that for Turkish, Serbian and Indian movies one cannot trust imdb ratings. Many of them are turds indeed. Andaz Apna Apna anyone?
If we all just watch them and give them a proper and honest rating, we should get rid of them over time. It doesn't hurt to watch a turd every once in a while, be it quite painful to sit through them.
Also, I think the 70's were not a very good decade in movies from what I've seen so far. Angst Essen Seele Auf? Interesting movie, but mediocre acting. Fassbinder made much better movies.
Aguirre? So overrated.
I totally understand where Kasparius is coming from. It is extremely frustrating to see these bad foreign films make their way up the charts.
But I have to agree with roobin_22. If we start voting down these films without having seen them, then we are no better than the teenage girls who vote down classic movies that get to the top of the IMDb Top 250. (see: The Seven Samurai, Apocalypse Now, Sunset Blvd, Dr. Strangelove, etc.)
