Top 1000 Most Acclaimed Films
Favs/dislikes: 28:0. This is my own compilation of the most acclaimed films of all time. My methodology is a bit different from TSPDT's. The main difference is that I'm giving a lot more weight to country and continent lists. I'm also using a much smaller number of lists because I'm only using lists that I like. This compilation is currently based on 71 lists. -
TSPDT Poll: 1,005 Film Favourites
Favs/dislikes: 28:0. Voted by 1983 people in 2021. Each person submitted a ballot of their 25 favorite films. -
iCheckMovies Most Favorite - obscure version (<40 favs)
Favs/dislikes: 47:0. iCheckMovies' favorite films (including TV movies) with between 6 favorites and 39 favorites, calculated using this formula: favorites / (checks+40) Some TV series may be included if they're labeled as movies on iCM. Last updated: Feb 9, 2020 -
iCM Forum <400 (extended list)
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. This is an extension of the 2013 version of the 500<400 list (#501-#1500). This is just a temporary list. I might delete it later. I added it because people might find it useful when making their new lists. -
Kinema Junpo Annual Top 10s
Favs/dislikes: 50:0. Each year, Kinema Junpo magazine publishes a list of the top 10 Japanese films of the year. This is not the complete list because some of the films are missing from IMDb. You can see a longer list and rankings for each year at the [url=http://www.rinkworks.com/checklist/list.cgi?u=crimsong&U=crimsong&p=kinemajunpotop10s]list source[/url]. -
Harvard University's Suggested Film Viewing List: All Sections (2011)
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. This list is "an educational resource that offers guidance and encouragement as students seek to find points of orientation within the vast history of film and video." It is not a list of the best films of all time. Rather, it reflects a variety of criteria. The list is divided into 6 sections: I. Narrative Films Hollywood Genres (with an emphasis on the classical studio era) II. Non-Fiction Films III. Animated Films IV. Experimental/Avant-garde/Underground Films V. Videos VI. Video Installations (this section can't be added to iCM because IMDb doesn't list video installations) This list combines the first 5 sections into a single list. 5 of the films are included in 2 sections, but they are listed only once on this iCM list. -
ineligible 500<400
Favs/dislikes: 2:0. A temporary list. I'll delete it soon. -

Cinephilia.net's Greatest Films
Favs/dislikes: 12:0. In 2012, Cinephilia.net invited 135 Chinese-speaking critics, scholars, curators, and cultural workers to vote for the top 10 films and the top 10 directors. This is a list of all films that received at least 1 vote. See [url=http://cinephilia.net/10x10/all-films]this page[/url] for the vote counts. Missing from IMDb: Sha Jia Bang (1971, Zhaodi Wu) -
Royal Film Archive of Belgium's Most Important and Misappreciated American Films
Favs/dislikes: 37:1. In 1977, the Royal Film Archive of Belgium sent out questionnaires to film experts from 22 countries in order to compile an extensive list of important American films. 203 people participated (116 Americans and 87 non-Americans). Each participant compiled two lists, a list of the most important films (limited to 30 titles) and a list of misappreciated films (not limited in number). The final list is sorted by number of votes (including both important and misappreciated votes). The book lists all 2327 films that received at least 1 vote. This list includes the films that received at least 5 votes. One of the list entries is "Songs" which includes 25 films, so I included only the first one. -
iCM Forum's Favorite Films of Each Country
Favs/dislikes: 5:1. Top 5 films per country from various iCM Forum polls. Only films that received more than 100 points are included. No more than 1 film per director per country.

The World History of Animation: Time Line
Favs/dislikes: 29:0. This list is from Stephen Cavalier's book [url=http://www.amazon.com/World-History-Animation-Stephen-Cavalier/dp/0520261127]The World History of Animation[/url] (2011). The book starts with an introduction and brief histories of world animation, with a list of key films for each continent. The rest of the book is a chronological time line of films, with information about each film as well as biographies and explanations of animation techniques. This is the chronological time line. I'm including only the films that have their own section, not all of the films mentioned within the text. For series of shorts, I included only the 1st from each series.

Screening Boredom: The History and Aesthetics of Slow Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 42:0. [url=https://kar.kent.ac.uk/43155/1/Screening.Boredom.Caglayan.pdf]Screening Boredom: The History and Aesthetics of Slow Cinema[/url] is a PhD thesis submitted in 2014 by Emre Caglayan, who teaches film courses at the University of Kent. "This thesis examines Slow Cinema, a stylistic trend within contemporary art cinema, although one with a longer pre-history." The list is on page 243 in a section titled "Slow Cinema Filmography (1975-2013)." Missing from IMDb: Woman of the Wind (2011, Lav Diaz) -
iCheckMovies' Most Favorite TV Series and Mini-series
Favs/dislikes: 58:7. These are iCheckMovies' favorite TV series and mini-series, calculated using this formula: favorites / (checks+75) This list includes documentary TV series. Last updated: July 8, 2012 -
Douban Top 250
Favs/dislikes: 4:0. The highest rated films on Douban. All films on the list are rated 8.3 or higher, with at least 80,000 ratings. Last updated: November, 2021 -
iCheckMovies Most Divisive
Favs/dislikes: 22:0. This is a list of movies that have a lot of favorites AND a lot of dislikes. In other words, movies that people will argue about. The list is calculated using this formula: ((favorites*dislikes)/(favorites+dislikes))^1.25 / (checks+50) Last updated: Feb 8, 2020 -
iCheckMovies Most Favorite - mainstream version
Favs/dislikes: 10:0. Calculated using this formula: (favs / (checks+50)) ^ (1 / log(favorites)) This is a more mainstream version of the [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/icheckmovies+-+most+favorite/]Most Favorite[/url] list, but the quality is much better than the "Most Checked" list. The idea is to make a list that's closer to the IMDb top 250, but based on iCM stats. The list is still based on ratio, which makes it possible for films like Seppuku and Idi i smotri to be near the top. If you want to see a list that's just sorted by number of favorites, see [url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/charts/movies/?tags=mediatype:movie]this page[/url]. Last updated: June 15, 2015 -
iCheckMovies Most Favorite - weighted (Dec 2011)
Favs/dislikes: 24:2. This is a weighted version of the iCM Most Favorite list, using the formula "favorites / (checks+50)", the same formula that the official list currently uses. The [url=http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/icheckmovies+-+most+favorite/]official Most Favorite[/url] list is based on incorrect fav counts (due to a bug). This list uses accurate data from Dec 20 (from the beta site), so I'm posting this list as a temporary solution until the bug is fixed. Edit: The bug was fixed on Jan 23, and as of Jan 26 the [url=http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/icheckmovies+-+most+favorite/]official list[/url] is based on accurate data. I will be keeping this list on iCM for historical purposes (so you can see what the list looked like in December 2011). -
iCheckMovies' Most Favorite 1970s Films
Favs/dislikes: 15:0. These are iCheckMovies' favorite 1970s films, calculated using this formula: favorites / (checks+75) This list includes TV movies and documentaries. It does not include shorts. Last updated: September 26, 2012 -
iCheckMovies' Most Favorite Horror Films
Favs/dislikes: 30:0. These are iCheckMovies' favorite horror films, calculated using this formula: favorites / (checks+75) This list includes horror shorts. I used IMDb to determine which films are horror, so there might be some strange inclusions and omissions. Last updated: October 5, 2012
