Hey guys, I just received an API key but don't know how to use it to get a list of top 50 rated movies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would use the movie discover method for this. An example query would be:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&sort_by=vote_average.desc&vote_count.gte=50

I am filtering movies with a minimum vote count of 50 to try and augment the relevancy of the results here. You can use any value you want.
