www.imdb.com

• Go to www.imdb.com and select IMDb Top 250. (To
  find this link, scroll down and look for Users
  Favorites in the sidebar on the left.) This list
  ranks the top 250 movies as voted by regular
  users of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
• (Note These are listed by ranking, not by number
  of voters. The voters did not vote for a favorite
  movie rather, they ranked the movies on a scale
  of 010).
• You will compute statistics on the number of
  voters who provided input on the movies, without
  actually using 250 pieces of data in your
  calculation. (If you wish, choose the IMDb Bottom
  100 instead.)

  www.random.org to select 10 of the 250 movies.
