Canadian films have often struggled to find a worthy spotlight, even in their own country. But with the Canadian Screen Awards just around the corner, it's an appropriate moment for us to all do our parts to try and change that. And perhaps a good start is this list of 50 Canadian films that data journalism website The 10 and 3 — which aims to "tell compelling and unusual stories about Canada through maps, interactive charts and other interesting visualizations" — decided to put together last month.
Unlike other (and certainly worthy) lists like this recent one from TIFF, The 10 and 3 compiled its list not from critics and academics but from a formula derived from the folks who rated the films on online film database IMDb. They came with an "adjusted rating," based on this confusing but seemingly legit equation:
(v/(v+m))R+(m/(v+m))C, where:
R = average IMDB rating for the film
v = the number of IMDB ratings that the film received
m = parameter that effectively downweights films with very few ratings (in our case m = 1000)
C = average rating across all films in our ranking
Pssst, want to check out the The 10 and 3's top 50 Canadian Films list in our new look?
