  1. The criteria used are purely arbitrary. There is no objective way to sorts films based on this two criteria anyway.

    In particular, the slope of the boundary lines (i.e. -0.5/decade for top lines and +3/decade for bottom) is arbitrary. I simply chose slopes that seemed to fit the “horn shape” made by the points on the graphic.

    Data source: [https://developer.imdb.com/non-commercial-datasets/](https://developer.imdb.com/non-commercial-datasets/)

    Tools: Matlab + Powerpoint

  2. I’ve seen all of the top 10 and none of the outsider 10 or bottom 10. Guess I’m not very adventurous.

  3. Fun fact: an anaptation of the Ramayana is found in both the “top 10 outsiders” and the “bottom 10 films”

  4. what’s going on in the bottom left? it’s so much less dense

  5. I think it be nice to see this as a heat map too. I am sure there are lots of overlap in those deep black sections.

  6. We use a similar process for sku rationalization and menu planning. Highest performing, best margin in the top left, worst selling, low margin dogs in the bottom right.

  7. Congrats! Really cool analysis!

    I will read the code and try to transcribe it to Python.

    If you want to work in Brazil, send me a message! Hahaha

  8. Nobody watch the Attack on Titan movie by itself. You must watch the show first. The movie is simply the last half season of the show. It will not make any sense if you just watch the movie and you will have ruined the experience for yourself. Try to avoid reading the movie description as well if you can.

    It is very good.

  9. Wry good post. Would be nice to see the movie ratings on the follow up pages.

  10. I feel like I’m crazy because I distinctly remember reading online that the reason Shawshank Redemption is the number one movie on IMDb was because back in the day there was an online campaign to stop Nolan fans from making The Dark Knight the one movie on IMDb.

    And I’m talking about reading this like 15 years ago. Does anyone have a way to look at what IMDb’s top 100 was in the past? Because now I’m super curious to see what it was pre-2007 when The Dark Knight was released.

  11. Yoop I watched that Ramayana movie as a kid so many times! Still one of the best fantasy/mythological films out there.

  12. Guess I cannot do what you did with my basic IMDB-Account?

    Something like:
    Show me all movies with a rating between 7-8 and votes between 5k and 90k?
