@Michael Todd: while it may be a quick look-up for people familiar with the various tools imdb provides, it would be far better if one could just input the question into Google and get an immediate answer in the form of the first hit being this site. – Rahul Aug 23 '10 at 15:04

This is another quick imdb lookup. – Michael Todd Jun 4 '10 at 15:02
@Michael Todd - I would agree most of these questions would be. – David Basarab Jun 4 '10 at 17:36
I don't agree. For example, "Dread (2009)" has pretty good songs, but IMDB only gives one of them (imdb.com/title/tt1331307/soundtrack). I'm still searching for those songs. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Jun 4 '10 at 18:25

What are your feelings on an <PG, PG-13, R, NC-17> rating for the movie <insert movie here>?
added by Michael Todd Jun 4 '10 at 15:05

Too subjective/argumentative and doesn't add much value. "What are you feelings" is irrelevant; instead, perhaps a question like "Why was <movie> rated <PG, PG-13, R, NC-17>?" would be better. – Rahul Aug 23 '10 at 14:59
