Show HN: 5000 best movies

Pretty decent and clean interface, I like that -- I think the next step to take from here would be implementing a system that lets users keep track of a list of watched/not-watched movies.

Up for it? :)

Anyway, do please remark on what kind of stack you've got going and what went into making this.

Thanks. We'll see. Each feature costs developer's time.

Edit: the stack is G-WAN and everything is written in plain ANSI C. I wrote my own HTTP servers in C/C++ for my previous websites, but this time I tried G-WAN. I think it saved me one week of work or two.

The website is running on the cheapest virtual dedicated server from 1&1 with 25% of one processor time. The total cost is less than $10 monthly.

The website should withstand several times larger traffic than the HN frontpage effect. I am not sure about the reddit effect.
