The Top 10 Movies

The following are the top 10 movies from 1990-2016 which have the highest IMDb ratings. You can click to see the details. Eligible movies are ranked based on simple numeric votes cast by users for a title from IMDb.

The movie follows a story arc and the story is plausible

For any movie to be enjoyable, it has to suspend our disbelief. In other words, it has to combine all of the elements to help us forget we’re watching a movie and immerse us into the story. Having a comprehensive story arc is the first step in helping the audience do that.

The movie has an interesting premise and has entertainment value

There are many ways to entertain us. Comedies like Dumb and Dumber keep us laughing nonstop. Others like Mission Impossible are just flat out adrenaline spiking thrill rides. It’s never a good sign if dad starts snoring.

The themes are identifiable and intriguing

We should be able to identify the themes and sub-themes. What message is the movie trying to send other than to entertain us with a story? What’s truly special is when the theme is embedded into the story itself.

The characters are multidimensional and the acting is convincing

Characters are based on people, and people are multifaceted, with their own hopes, desires, faults and aspirations, characters shouldn’t be so different. Main characters should be multidimensional and motive-driven.

The dialogue helps tell the story in the correct context

Most dialogue should have a calculated approach to facilitating the story and revealing the characters. That doesn’t mean to have “talking heads” tell us exactly what’s happening on-screen. Whether it’s a monologue or crafty subtext, the dialogue should augment and elaborate the story that is being told by the action.

There is a consistent visual language that is enhanced by the lighting, setting and wardrobe.

Continuity is king. This concept goes beyond the Rule of Thirds, or any camera technique. The shot selection, camera work, the angles, all of it should mesh together and create a uniform language that is easy for our eyes to follow.
  • From this table, we can see. Among the higher quality movies, the fantasy adventure category has the largest number, followed by comedy. We know that most people's lives are regular and peaceful. Feel the extraordinary life from the movie, and see the extraordinary scenery or objects that are invisible in the real life, which can make people feel excited. And it is easy to understand why comedy is popular. After experiencing busy work, a good comedy can heal people's fatigue.
