Understanding the method to the madness

How Scores Are Calculated

Each of our listers submitted a ranked list of 10-25 movies released any time from 2000 to present. This list was then inputted into our handy-dandy google sheet. A movie ranked #1 received 35 pts, #2 gets 32 pts, #3 gets 29 pts, all the way down to #25 with 1 pt (inspired by F1 scoring). Films are ranked by total points, with ties being broken by amount of votes. This top 180 features all films to get at least 36 pts or be ranked #1 on a list.
