hi,
why is it not possible anymore to filter the top movies...it used to be that one could filter after year, genre etc. and at least got the top 50 movies of this particular filter, similar displayed like the top250 list...so one could also find a good movie to watch next, compared to year or genre..
right now there is only the possibility to filter by genre (results = most popular films which is not nice) and refine by: year, user rating etc. Disappointingly the results include TV shows (like Game of Thrones in genre Adventure) and also movies with few votes, so it s really not very user friendly to spot a good movie of a particular year or genre, and also to get new inspirations..

I also miss having the Top 50 films by genre, decade and gender.
You can do this via the Advanced Title Search page.
1. From any IMDb page, select "Advanced Search" from the scroll down menu next to the spyglass. This will bring you to the Advance Search page [http://www.imdb.com/search/]
2. Click blue Advanced Title Search link, which brings you to http://www.imdb.com/search/title.
3. Click the box next to "Feature Film"; select one or more genres and enter a year in both boxes below "Release Date".
4. Click the yellow "Search" button at the bottom of the page. You should get the following results.
For instance:
Highest Rated Action Feature Films Released In 2012
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0...

Dan beat me to it and is spot on.
However, to address the concerns about films sneaking in with few votes you can add a minimum number of votes, which gives a satisfactory list:
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?genr...,
The annoying thing, as you point out, is the user-friendliness as there is no way to tweak and refine those results without hacking the URL or going back to the search page and trying to fill in all the details again. Which is why I want to see the filter options in the sidebar:

I never do. I believe it is down to the authoritative way I type. No one who thrunds the keys the way I do could be mistaken, even when I am.

Oh I know, I'm always right, but I read that people appreciate a little humility from time to time, this is your time.
