How the best are picked
- Most votes: every vote is one point. Today, this week or all time.
- Rating: starts at 1500 and moves like a chess rating. Beating a strong film counts for more.
- Category boards: the best horror, comedy, romance and so on, each ranked on its own.
- No paid placement. Money and followers don't move a ranking.
