I remember Amazon tried doing this a few years ago with Listmania. I really liked that site because I could just search for 'hosting' or 'sci-fi' and I'd get an idea of what the community thought were the best options. Then I could research the top ten results myself. It was a really nice site for basic research and I kept coming back to it about once a week -- the had lists on everything
1. I think your design is better than Listmania's design. Allowing embedded images is a huge plus.
2. Watch out for tons of spam when you get popular.
3. Change your name? Listering.com and listles.com are both available.
4. Make sure your results don't get stagnant. For popular terms like "Hosting" or "Best Movies" etc try to make older lists lose their ranking really quickly. It'll keep the discussion alive, let new people have a voice, and keep your site up to date -- all super important things with a content site.
