The IFG Approved Empire Top 50 Films of the 21st Century

Empire needed our help with their Top 50 films of the 21st Century.  They were close with some of their rankings, but they really did need an overhaul.

Ten people took part in the survey and surprisingly there were several films that all participants had seen: Donnie Darko, Casino Royale, Zodiac, Gladiator, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.  The films seen by the least amount of participants were: Hunt for the Wilderpeople (3) and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (3).

Some notes about the results:

  1. The IFG ranking is calculated by the total points (adding all of the 1-5 points) and dividing by the number of people who saw the film.
  2. The results are shown in reverse order (50-1) with the films Empire chose alongside our results.
  3. Films with more than five votes are in bold as it was deemed that these positions were more reliable than the films seen by fewer people.
  4. Finally, it must be noted that no descriptor was added to the point options so there may not be consistency in the individual ratings (that is, for example, 2 points might mean something slightly different to another voter).

Here are the results:

EMPIRE20-10

And our top ten…

So, are we happier with the results now?
