IMDb Metrics

IMDb is the ultimate fix for movie & data buffs.

IMDb was started in 1990 by Colin Needham while he was working as an engineer at Hewlett-Packard (HP). By the summer of 1996, thanks to IMDb's first film-related advertising campaign (for Independence Day), Needham had quit HP to work on IMDb full-time as a paid employee. It was acquired by Amazon in 1998.

While I've been using IMDb since a long time to check movie ratings and info since a very long time, I've been discovering the insights it offers after signing-in & rating movies that I've watched.

IMDb allows your own ratings to be downloaded along with the movie details. The Export as CSV feature is hidden within the three vertical dotted "kebab" menu. Subsets of IMDb data are also available for access to customers for personal and non-commercial use.
