    Remove Bias Towards Increased Rankings
    Make movies easier to move DOWN the list, rather than just up.

    When I choose to "re-rank" a movie, it gives me three sets of choices. If the movie is far down on my list and belongs higher up (say, at #500 out of 600, when it should be around #100), then I need only go through the re-ranking a few times to get it in the right area.

    But if a movie is high up and belongs quite a bit lower (say, at #100 out of 600, when it should be around #500), then it takes forever to move it down by re-ranking. Often, I pick the three choices offered to me as each being better than the movie in question - yet the movie only moves down 1 or 2 spots in ranking (from #100 to #102).

    I suspect this is because the "re-ranking" algorithm is biased towards moving movies up - it doesn't ask enough questions about movies that are lower on the list than the movie's current position.

    Perhaps expanding the "re-ranking" algorithm to offer more than three (say, six) different comparisons will give it enough information to be more helpful in moving a movie both up AND down. (For instance, the first three choices can be used to determine if the next three choices should be above or below the movie's current position).

    I think the button should stay where it is.

    Often, I've found that I will rank a movie, only to realize I haven't actually seen that movie (i.e., I'd confused it with a different movie). I usually don't realize this until the second or third time it's presented to me as an option, so I think the ability to change our mind and label a movie as unseen is important.

    Rambo II Keeps Showing Up, Haven't Seen It
    Rambo: First Blood Part II keeps showing up, even though I keep indicating that I "Haven't Seen It." When I finally decided to keep count, I noticed that I indicated that I "Haven't Seen It" three separate times within the space of a dozen comparisons!
