The Worlds Best Films: Top Ranked 1000 Films on the Net

The Top Ranked Films on the Internet
© William L. Sinclair
[This list was originally created in 2008]

We just updated this with the 2011 edition here, which has 172 new titles, including over 50 from 2009 and 2010..

We compiled this from numerous surveys and polls on the internet, some all critics, some all fans, so it's a combination. This represents over 1000 individual polls. We simply put them all into a worksheet, assigned the values per listing in typical countdown fashion, then added them all up when done. This actually represents hundreds of thousands of individual voters, none of whom was me. You could say this is "the Godfather of all internet film lists"..

[Lately there are some new polls I can add, such as The Auteurs at Criterion, with over 100,000 members; 2001 is #1 there, followed by another Kubrick film, A Clockwork Orange. Look for this list to be updated in the future with some newer polls added in; it's possible that 2001 will be #1 in the future, but unlikely, as The Godfather tops more individual polls. Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind are falling over time, while City of God, Memento, and 12 Angry Men are rising]

[hmmm... don't ask me why Google Blogger has decided to hide the leading 1's when I got to 1000+ - they are continually introducing odd bugs in to the blogs that bloggers have to debug or work around.. I'll look into this one and try to fix it. I tried shrinking the font size already with no difference. At least it's only affecting the bottom of this list. Thanks, guys - maybe with yer billions you can figure this out]

I was admittedly appalled to see Star Wars at No. 4 - that's what happens when you include popular polls I guess. I thought The Empire Strikes Back was much better science fiction. I would have thought Lord of the Rings films would be ranked ahead of the Star Wars films, just based on critics alone, but.. that's just my opinion.

I was also surprised to see Chinatown at No. 3, and that it's rising over time - good, but not that good. And is Blade Runner really 13th - does it belong in the top 20? Wizard of Oz 18th, with it's terrible acting and bad music? Pulp Fiction 20th - where are all these Tarantino fans coming from? Has no one seen Out of the Past lately? Instead of 237th it should be 37th.

Even Goldfinger made this list! That's not even the best Bond film. and the boring and mundane Kramer vs. Kramer, one of the worst best picture winners ever. Where the heck is Jerry Lewis, one wonders? Maybe I should add some French polls, lol..

With Inception now No. 9 at IMDB, look for it to show up next time I update this poll - likely sometime this summer.
