How this is counted
This chart counts 4 ranking sources, one voice each: their longest published ranking of films and TV. A title's place is its average position across all sources counted: a title someone left off their ranking counts as tied with their last place. A small pull toward the middle keeps one enthusiastic list from crowning a #1. Every title in the computed chart has a numbered position, with its source count shown beside it. It is recounted whenever a ranking is published, changed or removed, last on 16 October 2026. Member rankings and attributed external lists use the same calculation. Multiple lists from one member or external author count once; linked slices add no extra vote. Frozen links, private or unlisted lists and unmatched titles are never counted. The full method.
