No Bots, No Gain? — 1 year ago

Keith,

This is a great list and a nice change-up from the other IMDB lists. However, I think #88 (No Pain, No Gain – The Movie) is without much doubt undeserving of a spot. If you check the IMDB, you see several instances on the discussion board (and there aren’t many overall) suggesting that the movies’ ratings have been botted. It makes sense to me; I mean who has heard of this movie? It isn’t on ANY other list on this website. It isn’t on netflix or even amazon. Plus, no critic reviews on RT and only one (negative) review on Metacritic.

Sorry to run on there… just wanted to make you aware, especially for when you update this list.
