IMDb Staff Picks

As part of our 15th Anniversary (October 17) we asked our editorial staff (and a founder or two) to add their top 15 movies of the last fifteen years (1990-2005). As we are an international site with employees in Germany, Switzerland, the U.S. and the UK we were expecting extremely varied lists...and that's what we got. Some films, however, kept popping up so we created an aggregated, weighted "Top Staff Picks" list as well; it's featured on the left hand side of the main landing page for this special anniversary section. Looking it over we think does represent some of the best films of the last 15 years.
