Movie rating sites (Film Affinity and Movielens.com)

Anyone use either of these sites regularly?

They both operate similiar to the old Cinemax rating area they had that has long since been removed. I found the Movielens site first via a recommendation from a friend and then stumbled upon the FilmAffinty one just now when searching to make sure there wasn't already a thread on this topic.

Is there a quick method to import titles to rate with either of the sites (have already done a ton at Movielens and would like to add them to FA if I can do so without repeating the time spent)?

There seems to be a decent amount of votes on titles at Movielens but have yet to be able to find the activity level at FA. Anyone happen to know that?

I'm a member at both sites. I find F.A. superior on a couple of levels (# of movies listed, ratings system, "movie buddies"), but movielens is good also. I don't know about adding films; I couldn't be bothered to do that.

Did you have to duplicate your search at FA one at a time to find titles to rate? Or did you just go via all movies and go through the alphabet?

Wish there was a simple way to make a ballot of films by importing them like what DVDAf offers.

I just went through the entire database alphabetically, and rated accordingly. Both movielens and FilmAffinity constantly add more movies, and I check in once in a while to keep up with any additions.
