The films

The definitive top 250, scored across four pillars: critical standing (the 500-greatest canon and major awards), audience acclaim (TMDb), box-office dominance, and cultural longevity (weeks at number one). The blend leans critical, so the canon and the blockbusters share one board. Films marked * are from years reported on a rentals basis.
