Dan lives for six things: Movies (Action, Noir and Musicals specifically),Jazz Rap, Statistics, Chili, Fruit Smoothies and his wife who has no idea how huge a nerd he really is. Like almost everybody else on this page, he has a job dealing with computer/internety things for a company he helped start after college.

Travis Betz and Devin Barry are two movie lovers, who are also obsessed fans of the film ranking website, Flickchart. Join them as they pit movies against each other, waging verbal cinematic war while building a “best of” list on the blood of the defeated.
A self-described fanboy, Nigel has always looked at movies as entertainment first and art second. (Not that a film can't be both.) His personal Flickchart Top 20 is dominated by the likes of Frodo Baggins, Indiana Jones, Marty McFly and Christopher Nolan. Nigel spends time between raising two (and a half) kids, a day job that keeps him as far away from a computer as possible, a wife who works from home on the PC, watching too many TV shows on DVD, maintaining two - yes, two - Flickchart accounts, and trying to find spare moments to write for the Flickchart blog. Nigel almost wonders if he's ever going to see another movie again. You can find him on Flickchart as johnmason (his "fun" account) or MrKlan (his "work-in-progress" account).
Bats: R, Throws: R (Does both poorly.) How Acquired: Basically, I begged and pleaded to be allowed to contribute.
I hold a bachelor of arts degree earned in the discipline of history from the University of Louisville. I have four cats, am pro-LGBT equality and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2005. I have also fought severe, chronic depression since my youth. I love baseball but am bored by every other sport. All of these, and more, factor into my perspective on the films I view and the thoughts I share in the blog posts below.
Ross has been a lover of films for as long as he can remember. Since childhood, he has engulfed himself with movies, always trying to learn and watch more than any one lone human should ever attempt. Ross went to George Mason University, where he received a bachelors degree in communication with a focus in journalism and a film studies minor. He also maintains his own personal entertainment blog, Eternal Sunshine of Ross' Mind. He loves all films, genres and periods. From George Melies to Christopher Nolan, Ross will watch anything to further his ongoing film education. Ross can be found at rbonaime on Flickchart.
Jonathan wants to be a screenwriter when he grows up, which means massive debt and large stockpiles of ramen noodles. His interest in movies is first and foremost in the crafting of the story, with most of that technical mumbo-jumbo taking a back seat. Camera work? Pshh. Directing? Whatever. It's all about those words that get adapted to the screen! You can find this guy on Flickchart as movieguyjon, and you can also find him on his blog. Oh, yeah... there's a twitter account as well.
Having no affiliation with any spiritual or philosophical movements, Chad instead attempts to find meaning through watching movies. He also enjoys watching birds fight over food in supermarket parking lots.
Mike Frohwein, also known as The Mike to some, is a Midwestern film freak who writes about horror, genre, and cult cinema at his blog, From Midnight, With Love. Aside from horror, he's an avid fan of Alfred Hitchcock, classic Hollywood cinema, and the occasional big budget action film. Mike is also an obsessive DVD collector, and hopes to one day have a room for his movies.
There are over 80,000 users on Flickchart, but there can only be one top ranker. And I am he… I am him… him am I… I don’t know how the grammar of that one works, but it doesn’t matter because I’m the top dog. WOOF! Anyway, aside from having plenty of time to rank movies, I am also a headhunter… and not like Jason Statham in any of his movies, I find people jobs. But when I’m not doing that I adore, nay, love, watching movies. I’ll watch any movie you put in front of me. But my favorite is Good Will Hunting. Stay tuned weekly for my Guilty Pleasures column, where you can find out which movies are okay to secretly love. Michael can be found as osciak219 on Flickchart.
I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and raised an hour north in Appleton, Wisconsin, a small metro area of about 250K people. Being raised in an area with a small town feel, yet a number of niche groups around, movies became a large part of my life. I started college in the fall of 2006 - attempting first a Journalism degree, then a Radio/TV/Film degree. Three years later, seven majors later, and $12,000 dollars in debt, I decided to drop out of school and pursued truck driving. A year and a half later, I deliver pizzas for a living and quietly work on a number of manuscripts I hope to have published one day (and I've never been happier).
Like all too many that spend countless hours ranking and endlessly debating the merits of films long since forgotten by most, I am addicted to film. I work as a computer programmer, but my passion is film. I started writing about film a few years ago when I found it irritating that a few months after watching a movie, most of memory of it would be completely gone. To preserve my impressions on a movie I started writing about every one I watched and eventually started chronicling them on my blog. Once I started this, I was hooked. There isn't a period or a genre that doesn't interest me, I'll watch and write about anything. A couple of years and hundreds of movies later, I still can't get enough.
Al Topich is a graduate of film studies at the University of Central Arkansas. When he's not logged onto Flickchart, he is either editing or directing short films. He is an avid cinephile, who has seen over 3,000 films in his short lifetime. Willing to watch anything and everything from a lame brained action flicks to art house cinema, Al has made motion pictures the biggest part of his life.
Colin Biggs is a cinephile who recently became acquainted with Flickchart. He has been writing on films for the past three years for a variety of sites. Along with contributing here, he writes at his personal blog Never Mind Pop Film and the Large Association of Movie Blogs.
Emil is a movie-loving Swede, more prone to sarcasm and dry humor than to the berzerking of his Viking ancestors. While he enjoys most types of movies, a lot of his favorites tend to be various kinds of comedies. An unashamed fanboy of both Jason Statham and Shannyn Sossamon, he will watch any movie to feature either of those actors, no matter how bad they seem (if they were to appear in the same film together, his head might very well collapse). He does the vast majority of his movie-watching at home but occasionally ventures out to the cinema, at least whenever a new Christopher Nolan film arrives. When not occupied with film, Emil enjoys other forms of fine culture such as books, video games and pro wrestling. He also likes tea and beards. He runs a film blog called A Swede Talks Movies, tweets at @Esh_Kebab and is known as Eshegnev on Flickchart.
Ryan's love for film began with repeated viewings of Back to the Future. Since then he has spent the next 20+ years of his life watching, critiquing, and analyzing every film he can get his eyes on. While not his favorite genre, his love of sports films is rivaled by few. He has been known to rally his friends through seemingly insurmountable odds by starting timely "quack, quack, quack" chants from The Mighty Ducksfilms. Some of his favorite people in film include The Coen Brothers, Edgar Wright, Bill Murray, Sam Rockwell, Woody Allen, and Charlie Kaufman. You can find more of his writing on his personal blog, The Tao of Stuckey.
Tom Clift is a film critic and blogger from Melbourne, Australia. He is currently studying Arts at the University of Melbourne, where he plans to complete a double major in Screen & Cultural Studies and Media & Communications. His favourite filmmakers include Christopher Nolan, Stanley Kubrick, Sidney Lumet, Quentin Tarantino, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Joel & Ethan Coen and the entire team over at Pixar Animation Studios.
He also writes about film for Row Three and at his personal blog, Movie Reviews by Tom Clift
When not playing a game of chess with Death, or spying on his neighbors with binoculars, Michael works as a graphic designer. Michael splits his free time between building his portfolio, refining his websitewww.ubermusings.com, and blogging about films. In his blog he writes about the films he’s recently viewed in his quest to watch 2K films before he turns 30, this November. The list includes films seen since enrolling in college, where he studied screenwriting at Syracuse University. Michael’s Flickchart rankings are incorporated in his blog entries, and his profile can be viewed here; of particular favor are releases by The Criterion Collection.
Smack in the middle of my college career at the University of Miami, studying the wonderful world that is Motion Pictures. It's been eye-opening to say the least. Originally from Trinidad, I lived in England for most of my teenage years. I can speak in a British accent if you want me to, but I think the mix of Caribbean-British-American is amusing enough on a day-to-day basis. Oh, and I also have a second major in English Lit. I swear I'm not an over-achiever.
Jandy is a film buff, music fan, internet addict, and gamer girl. That’s the overview, anyway. She’s drawn to classic, off-beat, and foreign film, but loves a good blockbuster action sequence, too. Hailing from the midwest originally, she now resides in Los Angeles. You know, for the great cost of living to be had there. Or not. At least there’s a great music scene and a lot of repertory cinemas. At one point, academia seemed in the cards, but now she’s left that world. Maybe for good, but who really knows? In any case, two years of an M.A. in literature have left their mark, for good or ill. You can find her on Flickchart as faithx5, and elsewhere at Row Three, and at Jandy's Meanderings.
