IMDb's Crime Top 50
Favs/dislikes: 217:6. Crime (gangster) films are developed around the sinister actions of criminals or mobsters, particularly bankrobbers, underworld figures, or ruthless hoodlums who operate outside the law, stealing and murdering their way through life. Criminal and gangster films are often categorized as film noir or detective-mystery films - because of underlying similarities between these cinematic forms. This category includes a description of various 'serial killer' films. -
Academy Award - Best Documentary
Favs/dislikes: 20:0. All winners in the Best Documentary Feature category. The first year it was awarded, 1942, it was given to four films and half of those were shorts - so only the two feature-lengths are included here. In 1946 there was no award in the category.

IMDb's Top 250
Favs/dislikes: 2714:105. The IMDb top 250 is probably the most well-known movie list in the world. It has earned this reputation through the fact that it has been composed by aggregating the votes of many normal moviegoers. In other words, this is a list by and for the people and not some elite movie-critics list. -
Pinoy Rebyu's 100 Greatest Pinoy Films of All Time
Favs/dislikes: 24:0. In 2013, Filipino film blog [url=https://pinoyrebyu.wordpress.com/]Pinoy Rebyu[/url] invited around 200 film directors, screenwriters, critics, scholars, programmers, and archivists to send in a top 10 of their favourite Pinoy films. They received 81 ballots. This top 100, published in 2015, is an expanded version of the original top 50 they published in 2013. [quote]When we conducted our 2013 poll for the Greatest Pinoy Films of All Time, 81 respondents (critics, filmmakers, archivists, academics, etc.) provided us with a total of 204 films, ranging from obscure gems like Kidlat Tahimik’s Orbit 50: Letters to My 3 Sons to the unabashedly campy No Other Woman. We decided then to limit the list to 50 because we had a lot of ties, and it seemed unwieldy to publish a top 100 list with so many ties. That was before we discovered a sensible method to break ties based on which of the tied films are ranked higher by their respective voters. We have since used that method to rank the 100 Best Performances of the Half-Decade. It’s a pretty boring task to detail the equation we used (you can message us if you want to know how we did it) so let us get on with the more exciting job of revealing which films are the 50 next best.[/quote] [url=https://pinoyrebyu.wordpress.com/httpspinoyrebyu-wordpress-com20150731greatest-pinoy-films-of-all-time-nos-100-51/]Source[/url] -
