Fergenaprido's Significance Rating - Top 5 Films by Year

This started out as a personal goal to see the top five films of each year, using imdb data. After they removed the weighted rankings beyond the Top 250, I created my own formula to try to balance each rating and its number of votes, in order to make films more comparable. I settled upon the formula of SR=(EXP(rating)*(LN(votes))/100). Why that particular formula? I tinkered around with different variations, but I prefer using ln instead of log, and this formula ended up with a fairly approximate order similar to imdb's weighted formula.

Here are the top five films from each year since 1919. For 1919-1934, the minimum number of votes is 1,000; for 1935-2022, the minimum is 5,000. I excluded years before 1919 because there weren't enough films with at least 1,000 votes, so the SR wasn't reliable enough to rank them. I do exclude films that have had voter manipulation, but I don't exclude those rated highly because of enthusiasm from their home country (i.e. "mafias").

Not meant to be definitive, just a fun side project for me, and I decided to move it from my spreadsheet to icm. Feature-length films only (including documentaries).

I collect the imdb data on May 1st each year, and update this list shortly thereafter.
