The statistical top 250 movies of all time based on averaging ratings from 13 different websites

Just want to begin this by saying that this is NOT an official ranking nor my personal ranking, just a statistical look at some great movies.

I used 3 critic sources: Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Critics Choice (for movies made later than 1999); and 12 audience sources: Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, Letterboxd, TMDb, Trakt, JustWatch, Blu-Ray, FilmAffinity, Douban, Naver, and MUBI.

I tried my best to include a good variety of mainstream/independent and domestic/international ratings for maximum accuracy, adjusting ratings if a movie seemed to have been trolled/review-bombed. Finally, I took a weighted average of ratings from critics and audiences to get the top 250 movies of all time.

Below is the list, also on Letterboxd.
