I'd love a Best Ever Movies, but as I've already stated months ago, our favorite janitor is too busy with this site as it is. Also, I feel that a Best Ever Books website would be a good way to get people more into reading.

I really hope that if there is a Best Ever Movies site that it's seperate from this one.

tbh, there's no plans for a movies site as there's far too many others already (and some very good ones at that, such as RT & IMDb which would have about a ten year head start on BEM, if it ever got off the ground). I'm personally more interested in specialist movie sites rather than sites that cover lots of media types as I feel that the opinions are likely to be more insightful and the ratings more accurate, and a specialist site usually has a better user experience as the content is built specifically for the subject matter.
The one thing about BEA that has kept it small (but also allowed it to develop) is the fact that it is purely focused on albums, and not music in general (it's a niche topic that not many other sites occupy). This also leads to a membership that are more interested in albums, which leads to some great individual charts.
The bigger sites that people are talking about in the rest of the thread are covering a lot more ground than BEA does right now. If BEA ever branched into new areas (non music), it would almost certainly be as a separate website. Books would more than likely be the next area that BEA would expand into (I have more of an interest in books than movies), but as people have mentioned, this site keeps me plenty busy by itself so it won't be happening for a while.

I agree with this.
For movies, people don't just watch partial films, they watch full films. For music, people can either listen to individual songs/singles or full albums. So what we see here is that most casual movie viewers have seen at least 100 films, whereas most casual music listeners have not heard at least 100 albums because they mostly listen by song (or greatest hits compilation).
