Ah, I just took a look at your list, and I've got an idea what's going on. (With yours, at least -- haven't checked any others yet.) I think maybe it's a misunderstanding of how the algorithm works. Which, despite being a misunderstanding, is highly understandable, you understand.
All the movies you rank will show up on your list, whether they win or lose. It's just a matter of ranking more to bump them down out of their initially very high spot. So even though you ranked down Bourne, it may end up coming above enough other movies to be at, say, #200 in your top 250 movies if you ever care to look that far down, meaning that it DOES have a spot, just one that's receding into the distance. (IMDB has a list of their top 250 movies, so a top movies list that large isn't unheard of.)
When you rank a new matchup, you naturally end up with a winner and a loser; the first two movies (A and B) get inserted into your empty list as #1 and #2, respectively. When you rank C > D, they get inserted between A and B, so that your list is now: A > C > D > B. There's no special magic to that; we've just made sure that our two winners are at the top and our two losers are at the bottom. But you will still see those losers.
I see you did rank all the movies you mentioned, but they were losers -- and as you say, it's the entire second half of your list. As soon as you add another 8 matchups, 1-20 for you will all be winners, and as you rank more it will get more and more resolved.
Does that make more sense?

Inappropriate?I just posted a similar problem. When I filter to just my top 250, I'm still seeing loads of movies show up that I've never even ranked, winners or losers. They're films I haven't ever seen. I just want to sort my own list, but it keeps putting up random other films.
