Base: The formula for calculating the Top Rated 50 Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate: weighted rating (WR) = (v / (v+m)) x R + (m / (v+m)) x C where: R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating) v = number of votes for the movie = (votes) m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 50 (currently 1000) C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.6). For the Top 50, only votes from regular voters are considered.
Notes: Internet Movie Database is the largest film database in the world. It offers the chance for registered users to review and rate movies. The list we feature below is a 'snapshot in time'. The 'Top 50' page featured on the website changes over time as more films and more ratings are added. Head over there now to add your voice!
