- To take part in our poll see the options at the bottom of each title page or see the weekly ballot.
- The formula for calculating the top 250 films gives a true Bayesian estimate:
- weighted rank (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C
- where:
- R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating)
- v = number of votes for the movie = (votes)
- m = minimum votes required to be listed in the top 250 (currently 1250)
- C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.9)
- note: for this top 250, only votes from regular voters are considered.
