The 1,000 Greatest Films of All Time
- Page 10
I compiled this list based on the most recent lists from over 30 different sources, including 24/7 Wall St (IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes), Sight & Sound, Natl Society of Film Critics, Business Insider/Metacritic, Stacker, Filmsite, AFI, Cinema Archives, EW, Time Magazine, Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone, Village Voice, Timeout, the Spectator, Roger Ebert, Leonard Maltin, & Halliwell. I came up with a simple point system to assign points to movies based on their ranking on each source's respective listings - no complicated algorithms here. For sites that didn't actually rank them, I allocated points using an avg midpoint value for each film, weighing them equally, and I hope with enough lists, it results in a fairly good measure of the true "GREATS." Probably looks like it's more skewed towards the critics'/film experts' side, but average Critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes for the entire list is 92% and average Audience score is 87% (as of mid Oct 2021).
avg. score: 226 of 1000 (23%)
required scores: 1, 53, 133, 249, 388
