iCheckMovies - 1000 Most Polarizing
Created by rvandam.
Favorited 18 times, disliked 1 time, added to 10 watchlists.
This list attempts to find the most polarizing movies, meaning the movies with a significant number of both favorites AND dislikes. It uses the formula abs(favorites - dislikes) / (checks + 50) after first filtering anything with less than 50 favorites and/or dislikes (that is dislikes + favorites < 50).
I played around with several variations before settling on this formula but it is far from perfect. Please leave a suggestion in the comments if you think it can be improved. I will attempt to keep this list up to date.
Pssst, want to check out the iCheckMovies - 1000 Most Polarizing list in our new look?
