Poll: Disqualified IMDb All-Time Top 250 Movies

These movies are the forgotten stepchildren of the IMDb Movie Top 250, all at one time where members of this exclusive club. But times change and so did the rules, as documentaries and short films are no longer eligible for inclusion. It is tough enough to get in and stay in the IMDb Top 250, so restricting it to 'true' movies was the right move.
