You need to lower number of votes to something between 3,000-10,000 when searching. But i'm definitely sure it does NOT exclude "irregular" votes. There are no such thing in adv search and believe me you probably haven't seen a user who uses it more than me.
Best thing to do is get the official top 500, there should NOT be any films with "irregular" votes. Tough not sure about that "getting into trouble" thing but i don't really thing IMDb will care. Anyway, if so, there are places to find it, i have an old version, which probably is better off not updated anyway.
The main reason for the difference is that the IMDb Top 250 is based on "regular voters only". IMDb does not disclose what this term specifically means.
The 'Top 1000' is a specially weighted list you can click on on the imdb advanced search page. Its not the same as the 1000 highest rated movies. For example, the 'Top 1000' list contains movies with a 7.1 rating, even though there are about 5400 movies rated higher than 7.1 (with 200+ votes). There are 1,255 movies rated 7.8 and higher, with that amount of votes.

This is a very strange list. There are a lot of Bollywood movies in the top 250, but almost none in the 300—1000 positions.RememberTheCant

That would be possible, I guess. Anyway this *is* the real official IMDB top 1000. Which is, originally, not an extension of the top 250.Gorro
