Incredible list. Other lists put too much weigh on critics' favorites (with a lot of weight on stuff before 1960) or blockbusters that are fan favorites, but otherwise garbage. This helps shake it up and reveals quite a few gems that would otherwise go unnoticed. That being said, it still has some problems. Way too much emphasis on cult classics and films that are usually only watched by people who would already like them.
Why the +50? Did you get a few films that had more favorites than checks?
+50 because otherwise films with 1 favorite and 1 check would have a 100% ratio and would be at the top of the list (and there are hundreds of those). It's same idea as the bayesian estimate formula that IMDb uses, except it's not weighted as strongly.
