Topic: why does zombie movies have to be about zombies taking over? Forum: groupsrv

If you want to say "Greatest" you need to come to a consensus about the objective criteria that you will apply against all films, assign a score to that criteria and then rank the films against the criteria. For example: Criterion 1 - for a film to be greatest, it must have been nominated for an award: 1. Score 5 points if it won a Best Movie Oscar 2. Score 3 points if it was nominated for a Best Movie Oscar but didn't win. 3. Score 1 point if it won any other Best Movie award but was never nominated for an Oscar. 4. Score zero points for none of the above. Criterion 2 - For a film to be greatest, the NY Times, Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post had to give it 4 stars or more when it was originally released. 1. Score 5 points if all 3 papers gave it 4 stars 2. Score 3 points if 2 of 3 papers gave it 4 stars or more 3. Score 1 point if 1 of the 3 papers paper gave it 4 stars or more Most "Greatest" and "Best" lists are merely favorites because the person hasn't defined "Greatest" with objective criteria and then applied the criteria against things being ranked.
