In the original, the Joker was a mob boss. He was shot through the face (both cheeks) and received those scars.

Two face is the one who was burned by acid.

The climax of the movie was based around a little girl almost getting hit by a car.

Plot was awful.

Idea -- amazing.

Should have and could have been so much better.

This is how IMDB calculates their top 250. I know we're not using some of the info in here, but perhaps this could help in creating your own formula.

The formula for calculating the Top Rated 250 Titles gives a true Bayesian estimate:

weighted rating (WR) = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C

where:
R = average for the movie (mean) = (Rating)
v = number of votes for the movie = (votes)
m = minimum votes required to be listed in the Top 250 (currently 1300)
C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 6.7)

This is difficult, but here are my top 20 in no particular order, just as they come to my head...

1. Good Will Hunting
2. The Shawshank Redemption
3. Seven
4. Fight Club
5. American Beauty
6. Ocean's 11
7. Cinderella Man
8. The Incredibles
9. Layer Cake
10. Memento
11. 12 Angry Men
12. The Prestige
13. Psycho
14. Rounders
15. Snatch
16. Moulin Rouge
17. The Sixth Sense
18. American History X
19. Schindler's List
20. A Clockwork Orange
