Notes About Individual Submitters

[Show spoiler]Archdamian - I removed The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari from your list, as it was from 1920, and changed the point values of the remaining films from the original system (20, 19, 18, 17) to my new system (12, 11, 10, 9).

The Great Owl - I assumed an even distribution of ten points each, and removed The Golem from your list, as we established you were thinking of the 1920 version

W0mb4t - You said ranked, so I applied point values according to the new system, from 15 down to 6

The Math

[Show spoiler]First Tiebreak: Number of Lists appeared on (this is why, say, Bucking Broadway is above Victory)
Second Tiebreak: Highest Single Number of Points From One Rating (this is why, say, Male and Female is above Re Lear, as 15 > 13)
Third Tiebreak: Longest List Appeared on (this is why, say, Young Romance is above Fantômas - À l'ombre de la guillotine). Note that the number in brackets below is the length of the longest list the film appeared on.
