Note -
- Only movies with at least 10,000 votes and rated between 7.5 and 10.0 have been considered for this list, thus, an effective number is attained which cancels out most of the movies overrated due to voting by a limited geographical/lingual/cultural/gender demographics.
- Of all the feature films with a minimum vote count of 10,000, ~25% of them have a rating of 7.5 and above, so this criterion is nearly perfect for someone who believes that nearly 25% of all feature films are "enjoyable".
- If you believe that only ~10% of all feature films are "enjoyable", then, you shall only consider 600 movies as a "must watch", which have at least 10,000 votes and are rated between 8.0 and 10.0.
- If you believe that only ~1% of all feature films are "enjoyable", then, you shall only consider 60 movies as a "must watch", which have at least 10,000 votes and are rated between 8.6 and 10.0.
