"IMDb is among the best resources for cinephiles, and has provided film fans with a great database of movie news, trivia, production information, and references. It is largely seen as the best way for moviegoers to look up details about their favorite movies. Among IMDb's most popular features is its system of ratings and rankings, and a lot of publicity has surrounded the films that rank highly enough to place on IMDb's Top 250 movies of all-time.
However, not every film gets that sort of acclaim, and as with any system that allows the public to vote on ratings, there are films that have struggled to grow past their low rating. It's easy to look at a low IMDb rating, particularly one below the threshold of 6.0, and automatically dismiss it. That being said, there are certainly films that for one reason or another carry a low user rating, but should be checked out regardless."
