As most of you know, it's possible to make lists on IMDb. This for example makes it possible to find movies of a certain kind. Many lists are very helpful and great, but sadly, the ones that gets most of the views are lists of some random persons favorite movies or worse, a list of all the movies someone has seen. This means that the lists aren't of much help.IMDb has no search function when it comes to lists yet, so the only way to find new lists is to make a google search like this for example: Disaster movies site:imdb.com/list
In this post I will try to honor those that try to be creative and make unique, helpful lists. I named it "Just 5" instead of "Top 5" because it's impossible to know if I have found the 5 greatest ones.

#4 Lists by seanmiguel
Has made 51 lists, most of them great although all of them doesn't necessarily interest me. Many of them have been and will be very helpful to me when I'm looking for interesting movies. I have only one problem with his lists, which is that they contain too many movies with almost no votes at all. But, some may like that, especially if they're really into a certain theme.seanmiguel seems to have Documentaries, Biopics, Sci-fi and various sub-genres as specialties.
Top 5 lists by seanmiguel:
1. Think Inside the Box

Fantastically made lists of period dramas from different times, for example The Biblical Times, The Romans (509 BC-476 AD), The Medieval Times (476-1453 AD) and The American Civil War (1849-1865). Since I love period dramas, these lists are of extra much help to me.Other great lists by eliza_gaskell:

Much ado about Dragons
TRILOGIES
Best memorable male voices in movies

I recommend you start commenting on lists that are actually good, and not on those that are bad, because it's the comments that makes the lists more visible on IMDb!
