The Studio

Have you ever been overwhelmed by the number of DVDs in our collection, unsure of what’s good and what you feel like seeing next? Try using a map. French graphic designer David Honnorat has ingeniously taken IMDb’s list of the Top 250 films and plotted them as a CTA-style transit map, with intersecting genres and movies standing in for routes and station stops. The resulting diagram is visually arresting, cinematically intriguing and a lot more fun than hopping on the El. For example, you can make it from WALL-E to A Clockwork Orange in four stops, or take a detour at Casablanca and head toward either Glory or Manhattan. A large version of the map is available for download at Vodkaster.com.
