I majored in Movie Research at college.
And by “majored” I imply I performed Pokémon Blue and Pink emulators at the back of the category, hated the complete curriculum after two months, and dropped out.
However nonetheless… I majored in movie research.
My preliminary hope after I went into Movie Research was that lessons could be us critiquing films I appreciated: Dude, The place’s My Automotive? American Pie, Workplace Area, and as an alternative of writing essays, we’d simply quote the films over lunch afterwards.
So, you’ll be able to in all probability see why a profession in movie research wasn’t for me. As an alternative, we’d watch 1927’s Metropolis 3 times in a row (for actual), and dissect (as a category) why we thought Fritz Lang selected to make use of high-contrast lighting and sweeping digital camera motion.
That’s why, every time I comb by means of IMDB’s Prime 250 films of all time, I actually simply need to know the high-rated film of MY TIME. Like 2000s to now.
I actually do assume IMDB is a dependable barometer for gauging whether or not a film is nice or not. With that stated, listed below are the highest-rated films of all time, based on IMDB (based mostly on customers’ 10-point grade), however solely films from 2000 onwards.
Sorry, movie historians.
(As a baseline, The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is IMDB’s highest-rated film of all-time, with a 9.3 rating from 3.2 million consumer votes…)
